摘要
The neuronal diversity of the subplate and developing white matter in the mouse was studied using a variety of neuronal markers. The subplate was first visible in lateral cortical areas at E13, coinciding with the emergence of the cortical plate. During prenatal development, this layer was formed by morphologically heterogeneous neurons, subsets of which were immunoreactive for BABA and calcium-binding proteins. From E18 onwards, a few subplate cells also contained neuropeptides. Colocalization experiments demonstrated that the percentages of neurons immunoreactive for each antigen were similar to those described in adult neocortex. By E15, subplate cells had received synaptic contacts. Moreover, a second early-neuronal population was conspicuous from E13 in the lower intermediate zone: the intermediate-subventricular population. Unlike subplate cells, these neurons were morphologically uniform. smaller and horizontally oriented. Nevertheless, a few of these cells also appeared within the ventricular zone, with a perpendicular/oblique orientation. Most of these cells were GABA-positive and showed calbindin immunoreactivity. At the electron microscopic level, no synaptic contacts were found in these neurons. Tracing studies using Dil showed that subplate neurons were the first to send axons outside the neocortex towards the ganglionic eminence at E13. At E14, subplate axons and ingrowing thalamic fibers met in the striate primordium. Subplate cells retained their projection to the thalamus during prenatal development. Thalamocortical axons reached the subplate at E15, and 1 day later began to invade the upper cortical layers. Early callosal axons. in contrast, did not run through the subplate to reach the contralateral hemisphere, nor did subplate cells send out callosal fibers. Callosal axons ran just above the subventricular zone, intermingled with the intermediate-subventricular neuronal population. We conclude that the subplate neuronal population has a chemical heterogeneity reminiscent of that of the adult cortex and is crucial to the establishment of thalamocortical relationships, whereas the intermediate-subventricular neurons constituted a particular GABAergic population, which includes resident cells and tangentially migrating postmitotic neurons spatially related to the development of callosal connections.
