FoxP1 marks medium spiny neurons from precursors to maturity and is required for their differentiation

To understand the developing striatum, key genes during development were identified using microarray analsyis that could be considered as marker of medium spiny neurons. The ages studied is at peak striatal neurogenesis. 3 different gestational ages of CD1 mice were used with triplicate repeats为探究发育中的纹状体（striatum），本研究通过微阵列分析（microarray analysis）鉴定了发育过程中的关键基因，这些基因可作为中型多棘神经元（medium spiny neurons）的标记物。本次研究的取材时点处于纹状体神经发生高峰期，共使用3种不同胎龄的CD1小鼠，并设置了三重重复实验。
