Increased Neuronal Production, Enlarged Forebrains and Cytoarchitectural Distortions in beta-Catenin Overexpressing Transgenic Mice
Abstract
beta-Catenin can function in the decision of neural precursors to proliferate or differentiate during mammalian neuronal development and may regulate cerebral cortical size by controlling the generation of neural precursor cells. Mice expressing high levels of a stabilized beta-catenin transgene in neural precursors develop enlarged brains with expanded precursor populations, increased cerebral cortical surface area, and folds resembling sulci and gyri of higher mammals present at birth. Here we report the effects in adult mice expressing lower levels of the same stabilized beta-catenin transgene in neural precursors. Adult transgenic animals develop enlarged forebrains with thin cerebral cortices with increased surface area, expanded subventricular zones with subcortical aggregations of neurons and enlarged, distorted hippocampi. The brains from transgenic mice also show apparent arrest of neuronal migration and dramatic disorganization of the layering of the cerebral cortex. These findings suggest that beta-catenin can cause expansion of the precursor pool resulting in increased neuronal production and greater brain size and suggest a crucial role for beta-catenin in neuronal migration and cortical lamination.

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.
