Abstract:
GABA emerges as a trophic signal during rat neocortical development in which it modulates proliferation of neuronal progenitors in the ventricular/subventricular zone (VZ/SVZ) and mediates radial migration of neurons from the VZ/SVZ to the cortical plate/

Keywords:
embryonic; rat; development; cortical; neuritogenesis; GABA; GAD; FACS

Materials & Methods:
Experiments were performed on embryos recovered from timedpregnant Sprague Dawley rats (Taconic Germantown NY) during the last half of gestation. The embryonic age was determined by comparing the crown–rump lengths of embryos with previously published values (Hebel and Stromberg 1986). The day of conception was taken as embryonic day 1 (E1). All of the research was performed in compliance with the Animal Welfare Act and the Public Health Service policy on Humane Care and Use of Laboratory Animals and was approved by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke Animal Care and Use Committee.
