Mechanisms of neural circuit formation in the ventral telencephalon

为了揭示端脑腹侧神经回路形成的分子机制，我们试图证明纹状体轴突的重要性，并在该区域寻找新的轴突导向分子。由于技术问题，我们未能在纹状体轴突上进行实验。另一方面，我们可以证明PlexinA1和Semaphorin6D在内囊的形成中不起主要作用，并且原钙粘蛋白9蛋白的分布与某些神经回路（如听觉系统）相吻合。

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.
