Department of Anatomy, Howard Hughes Medical Institute, CA, USA
Neuron 33:219-32. 2002..Our results indicate that Slit proteins repel retinal axons in vivo and cooperate to establish a corridor through which the axons are channeled, thereby helping define the site in the ventral diencephalon where the optic chiasm forms... - Spatiotemporal features of early neuronogenesis differ in wild-type and albino mouse retinaRivka A Rachel
Center for Neurobiology and Behavior, Department of Pathology, College of Physicians and Surgeons, Columbia University, New York, New York 10032, USA
J Neurosci 22:4249-63. 2002..These results point to spatiotemporal defects in neuronal production in the albino retina, which could perturb expression of genes that specify cell fate, number, and/or projection phenotype... - Permissive corridor and diffusible gradients direct medial ganglionic eminence cell migration to the neocortexHynek Wichterle
The Rockefeller University, New York, NY 10021, USA
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 100:727-32. 2003..In addition, we propose that chemotactic guidance cues superimposed over the permissive corridor facilitate efficient dorsal migration of MGE cells... - Foxd1 is required for proper formation of the optic chiasmEloisa Herrera
