The callosal connections between the two hemispheres of the neocortex are altered in certain psychiatric disorders including schizophrenia. However, how and why the callosal connection is impaired in patients suffering from psychiatric diseases remain unclear. Filamin A interacting protein (FILIP), whose alteration through mutation relates to schizophrenic pathogenesis, binds to actin-binding proteins and controls neurotransmission. Because cortical excitatory neurons, including callosal projection neurons, migrate to the cortical plate during development, with the actin-binding proteins playing crucial roles during migration, we evaluated whether FILIP is involved in the development of the callosal projection neurons by histological analysis ofFilip-knockout mice. The positioning of the callosal projection neurons, especially those expressingPlxnd1, in the superficial layer of the cortex is disturbed in these mice, which suggests that FILIP is a key molecule that links callosal projections to the pathogenesis of brain disorders.
