Abstract excerpt
The mammalian striatum arises in the basal telencephalon and contains morphologically homogenous neurons that can be divided into two distinct compartments, patches and the matrix. During development, patch neurons are generated first to form a striatal primordium. After a large influx of later-born matrix neurons into this region, the unique mosaic arrangement of these two neuronal phenotypes is established. The...
