| abstractText | To examine whether the migration of ambiguus nucleus (NA) neurons is affected in the reeler mouse, recombinant replication-deficient adenoviral vector carrying E. coli-galactosidase gene (lacZ) was injected into the abdominal esophagus of the reeler mouse and normal control at two months of age prior to 5 days of sacrifice of the animals. In the normal control, lacZ-positive neurons were found in the compact formation of the NA, whereas, in the reeler, they were scattered from the base of the fourth ventricle to the ventro-lateral margin of the medulla. The present study confirmed that NA neurons are malpositioned in the reeler mouse, suggesting that the migration of NA neurons is guided by the reelin-related protein (Reelin).
