Topography of thalamic projections requires attractive and repulsive functions of Netrin-1 in the ventral telencephalon.

Recent studies have demonstrated that the topography of thalamocortical (TC) axon projections is initiated before they reach the cortex, in the ventral telencephalon (VTel). However, at this point, the molecular mechanisms patterning the topography of TC projections in the VTel remains poorly unders...
