Abstract excerpt
Wnt signaling is involved in numerous processes during vertebrate CNS development. In this study, we used conditional Cre/loxP system in mouse to ablate or activate beta-catenin in the telencephalon in two time windows: before and after the onset of neurogenesis. We show that beta-catenin mediated Wnt signals are required to maintain the molecular identity of the pallium. Inactivation of beta-catenin in the...
