2008, Progress in NeurobiologyCitation Excerpt :The dorsal midbrain contains Slit1, which may explain the observation that the DM instructs mdDA axons to follow a rostral trajectory towards the forebrain (Fig. 4) (Nakamura et al., 2000). In addition, the caudal midbrain expresses high levels of Slit3, which may mediate the repulsive effect this brain region exerts on extending mdDA axons in vitro (Fig. 4) (Gates et al., 2004; Holmes et al., 1995). Based on these results, it is tempting to speculate that the combined actions of Slit1 and Slit3 prevent mdDA fibers from aberrantly extending in dorsal and caudal directions thereby contributing to the characteristic rostroventral trajectory of the MFB.
