Consequences of Trisomy 16 for Mouse Brain Development: Corticogenesis in a Model of Down Syndrome
1 Oct 1996
Abstract excerpt
We have studied abnormalities in the tangential and radial expansion of the cerebral cortex during fetal development in the trisomy 16 (Ts16) mouse, a model for human trisomy 21 (Down syndrome). Slowed tangential expansion of the neuroepithelium in Ts16 resulted in a reduction of final telencephalic size and is predicted to decrease the number of radial cortical units in the mature brain. In addition, radial...
