“…Its absence is associated with an acallosal phenotype, that can be rescued by a 'sling graft,' supporting a major role for this structure in the guidance of callosal axons Katz et al, 1983;Shu and Richards, 2001;Silver and Ogawa, 1983;Silver et al, 1982Silver et al, , 1993. While, the presence of neurons in the corpus callosum was reported in the cat, mouse, and human (Jovanov-Milosevic et al, 2010;Ren et al, 2006;Riederer and Innocenti, 1992;Riederer et al, 2004), recent studies have revealed that the 'glial' sling is largely composed of glutamatergic immature neurons expressing NeuN, b-tubulin, calretinin, Emx1, and NFIA (Niquille et al, 2009;Ren et al, 2006;Shu et al, 2003b). They are generated from E14.5 to P2 and have been proposed to migrate medially from the ventricular zone next to the sling (Figure 25.5; Niquille et al, 2009;Shu et al, 2003b) or from retrobulbar regions (Meyer and Goffinet, 1998;.…”
