Emx1 null mutant mouse phenotype : potential implications for human epilepsy

2002-01-01

Abstract excerpt

In the last decade, several homeobox-containing genes including members of the empty spiracle (Emxl and Emx2) and orthodenticle (Otxl and Otx2) families, have been found to be expressed in the cerebral cortex of rodents. Among these genes, Emxl shows the most widespread pattern of expression in this part of the brain. It has been recently demonstrated that Emxl is expressed by pyramidal cells, which are the glutam...
