Time of origin of corresponding cell classes in the cerebral cortex of normal and reeler mutant mice: An autoradiographic analysis

Caviness, V. S., Sidman, R. L.·1973·Journal of Comparative Neurology

Abstract

Reeler, a recessive mutation in mice, causes cytoarchitectonic abnormalities of the cerebral and cerebellar cortices. Although the relative positions of classes of cells in the cerebral cortex are markedly abnormal, the time of origin of cells in each class appears to be normal by autoradiographic criteria. In the retrohippocampal cortical structures and in the adjacent neocortex, the earliest generated cell class, the polymorphic, arises at the same embryonic time in normal and reeler littermates. Whereas these cells come to form the deepest stratum of the normal cortex, they lie in an immediately subpial position in the mutant, there being no cell‐sparse external plexiform (molecular) layer. A population of larger cells is generated next; these normally come to lie in more superficial layers but instead lie deep to the polymorphic cells in the mutant. Granule cells of the neocortex arise last, simultaneously in normal and reeler; they form the most superficial neocortical cell stratum in the normal, but lie at a more restricted level within the large cell zone in the mutant. These data indicate that the cytoarchitectonic anomaly in reeler is independent of the spatiotemporal program of cell generation. It appears likely that the reeler genetic locus governs embryonic events, as yet undefined, that direct the postmitotic migrating young neuron to class‐specific levels within the cortex.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • The reeler mouse mutant has neurons generated normally but abnormally placed, resulting in disorganization of cortical laminar layers in the CNS.

    “The reeler is an autosomal recessive mouse mutant, in which neurons are generated normally but are abnormally placed, resulting in disorganization of cortical laminar layers in the CNS (7–12).”
  • In the reeler mouse model, lamination of principal cells in cortex is inverted and the s.p. of the hippocampus is split in region CA1.

    “in the reeler mouse model, in which expression of reelin or associated proteins is disrupted, the lamination of PCs in cortex is inverted and the s.p. of the hippocampus is split in region CA1”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
