Transcriptional profiling reveals the transcription factor networks regulating the survival of striatal neurons

Abstract The striatum is structurally highly diverse, and its organ functionality critically depends on normal embryonic development. Although several studies have been conducted on the gene functional changes that occur during striatal development, a system-wide analysis of the underlying molecular...
