During development of the mammalian telencephalon, cells migrate via diverse pathways to
reach their final destinations. In the developing neocortex, projection neurons are …

The forebrain, or prosencephalon, consists of the diencephalon and the telencephalon. The
diencephalon is the conduit for ascending sensory information, whereas the telencephalon …

The limbic system of the brain regulates a number of behaviors that are essential for the
survival of all vertebrate species including humans. The limbic system predominantly controls …

To directly test the requirement for hedgehog signaling in the telencephalon from early
neurogenesis, we examined conditional null alleles of both the Sonic hedgehog and …

Interneurons of the cerebral cortex represent a heterogeneous population of cells with
important roles in network function. At present, little is known about how these neurons are …

During development, the mammalian ventral telencephalon is comprised of three major
proliferative zones: the medial (MGE), lateral (LGE) and caudal (CGE) ganglionic eminences. …

… and Image Analysis, The George Washington University, for assistance with electron
microscopy, Cristina Pineda Delgado for technical assistance, and members of the Corbin, Haydar, …

Considerable data suggest that sonic hedgehog (Shh) is both necessary and sufficient for the
specification of ventral pattern throughout the nervous system, including the telencephalon…

Homeobox genes have recently been demonstrated to be important for the proper patterning
of the mammalian telencephalon. One of these genes is Gsh2, whose expression in the …

A subset of preBötzinger Complex (preBötC) neurokinin 1 receptor (NK1R) and somatostatin
peptide (SST)-expressing neurons are necessary for breathing in adult rats, in vivo. Their …
