Patterning of the telencephalon - PICS Flashcards
Where are most morphogens located in the developing brain?
Midline
What morphogens are located in the anterial neural ridge?
Fgf8 & other Fgf families
What morphogens are located in the cortical hem?
Wnts and BMPs
What morphogens are located in the anti-hem?
FGF15 - used to antagonise the affects of other Fgf family members at the anterial neural ridge
What does the ventral part of the diecephalon express?
Shh
What are the markers for the cortical hem?
Lhx2, Emx1/2
What are the markers for the dorsal pallium?
Ngn12, Pax6
What are the markers for the ventral telencephalon?
Mash1, Dlx1/2, Gsh 1/2
What is the pallium and what kind of neurons are produced here?
Dorsal part of the forebrain and it makes glutamatergic projection neurons
What is the tissue that forms in the pallium?
Choroid plexus and choroid roof aka the choroid field that gives rise to cells that produce tissue fluid
What is the subpallium?
It is the ventral part of the forebrain
What structure is in the subpallium and is made here?
Ganglionic eminences - produce GABAergic interneurons
What is the cortical hem and what does it do?
Organising centre that’s vital for patterning of the cortex
What does the archicortex give rise to?
This gives rise to the hippocampus
What does the neocortical domain give rise to?
Cortex
