nervous system
N |
• generation and patterning of lateral ganglionic eminence (LGE) precursors is normal in mutants
|
• early- and late-born neurons fail to migrate to appropriate positions to form ventral striatum
|
• between E13 and 16, striatal mantle is more densely populated by proliferating precursors compared to wild-type
|
• migration or differentiation of ventral striatum (VS) neurons is disturbed in mutants
• at E13 to birth, the striatal bridges are absent
|
• staining for the markers Brn5 and Robo at E13 reveals a neural differentiation defect restricted in the region of the nucleus accumbens and olfactory tubercle (OT), and not the rest of the striatum
|
• at E13 to birth, the striatal bridges and the olfactory tubercule (OT) layers are absent
