Mechanisms of neural circuit formation in the ventral telencephalon

To reveal molecular mechanisms of neural circuit formation in the ventral telencephalon, we tried to prove importance of striatal axons and to find novel axon guidance molecules in this region. Due to technical problems, we failed to perform experiments on striatal axons. On the other hand, we could show that PlexinA1 and Semaphorin6D did not play major roles in formation of internal capsule and that distribution of protocadherin 9 protein coincided with certain neural circuits, such as auditory system.
