Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Cortical malformations are important causes of neurological morbidity, but in many cases their etiology is poorly understood. Mice with Foxc1 mutations have cellular defects in meningeal development. We use hypomorphic and null alleles of Foxc1 to study the effect of meningeal defects on neocortical organization. METHODS: Embryos with loss of Foxc1 activity were generated using the hypomorphic...
