Neuronal migration and ventral subtype identity in the telencephalon depend on SOX1. by Antigoni Ekonomou, Ilias Kazanis, Stavros Malas, Heather Wood, Pavlos Alifragis, Myrto Denaxa, Domna Karagogeos, Andrew Constanti, Robin Lovell-Badge, Vasso Episkopou

“…Furthermore, the migration of non-Sox1-expressing VS neurons (such as those expressing Pax6) was also affected in the absence of SOX1, suggesting that Sox1-expressing neurons play a role in structuring the area of the VS. To test whether SOX1 is required in postmitotic cells for the emergence of VS neuronal identity, we generated mice in which Sox1 expression was directed to all ventral telencephalic precursors, but to only a very few VS neurons. …”
