| Research Abstract |
We studied the developmental process of several vertebrates including the lamprey, turtle, mouse and so on. Through the comparative analysis, we identified that the basic morphological mechanism to make pallium has been established in the common ancestor of vertebrates. On the other hand, the neuronal projection from telencephaon to thalamus is different between mammals and reptiles, suggesting that the mechanism for the neuronal circuit formation appear to be modified in the amniote lineage.
