	University of Chicago Hospitals: Sonic Hedgehog shapes the brain
		The midbrain was an attractive model for studying the formation of the organization of brain, or morphogenesis, because it is very simply organized during development into a set of cell columns, called arcs, each with distinct molecular identities.
		The group found that Sonic Hedgehog is normally expressed along the midline during midbrain development, suggesting that Sonic Hedgehog might be the morphogen setting up the midbrain pattern.
		This signal is called a morphogen because it is a "form-producing substance." Though the idea of morphogens has been around since 1952 when the British mathematician Alan Turing coined the term, it is only in the last ten years that true morphogens used in animal development have been molecularly identified.

	Alexandra L. Joyner
		Our long-standing interest has been development of the midbrain, which receives visual and auditory input, and the cerebellum of the anterior hindbrain, which regulates motor control.
		This suggested that anterior/posterior patterning of the midbrain and anterior hindbrain is controlled by a centrally located isthmus organizer that instructs the cells on one side to become the midbrain cell types and on the other side to become the cerebellum.
		A set of transcription factors, including the Engrailed (EN) proteins, are expressed across most of the midbrain and cerebellum, and the secreted factors FGF8 and WNT1 are expressed in the organizer (Figure 1).

	Electrophysiological Properties of Midbrain Dopamine Neurons
		Although identification of neurons on the basis of location or morphology may suffice when the investigator is studying the postsynaptic actions of these neurohumors, meaningful data cannot be collected from the cells that synthesize and release a given neurotransmitter unless this identification is definitive.
		In order to reliably separate the fluorescence of the intracellular stain from that of the tyrosine hydroxylase immunolocalization within the same brain section, the putative DA neuron was injected intracellularly with the highly fluorescent dye Lucifer yellow, which could be readily separated from the rhodamine-labeled secondary antibody employed in the immunocytochemical localization of tyrosine hydroxylase.
		Unlike that reported in vivo, in both cases the DA-containing cells were identified as the non-burst-firing cell class, with the cells showing prominent rebound burst firing shown to be the nondopaminergic zona reticulata neurons.

		We have focused on early specification of the midbrain and rhombomere 1 (r1), the anterior most region of the hindbrain that forms the cerebellum.
		Mouse mutants in these genes, or in the secreted factors Fgf8 and Wnt1, have deletions of the midbrain and cerebellum, indicating that the earliest function of these gene families involves specification of a broad midbrain/r1 domain.
		Transplantation studies in chick have shown that the junction between the midbrain and r1 (isthmus) is a source of secreted factors that can transform regions of the brain into midbrain or cerebellum structures, indicating that patterning of the midbrain and cerebellum is controlled by a centrally located organizer.
