Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Notch signaling has a key role in cell fate specification in the developping brains. However Notch related genes are continuously expressed in the postmitotic neurons after completion of the last cell division. Notch signaling is activated in the c-Fos positive neurons. Downregulation or overexpression of Notch caused disruption of barrel cortex, suggestion that Notch signaling is required for the barrel formation in the developing mouse brains.
