	Telencephalon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The telencephalon (te-len-seff-a-lon) is the technical name for a large region within the brain which is attributed many functions, which some groups would class as unique features which make humans stand out from other species.
		Note: As the telencephalon is a gross division with many subdivisions and sub-reigons, it is important to state that this section lists the functions which the telencephalon as a whole serves.
		After removing over half of the telencephalon in the developed stage of the clawed frog, the lack of functions within the animal was apparent, manifesting with obvious difficulties in movement, nonverbal communication between other species, as well as other difficulties thought to be similar to those seen in humans.

		An anterior part of the telencephalon called the cerebrum (Anterior portion of the brain consisting of two hemispheres; dominant part of the brain in humans) makes up the largest section of the mammalian brain and in humans, its surface has many deep fissures (sulci) and convolutions (gyri), giving a wrinkled appearance to the brain.
		In most vertebrates the metencephalon is the highest integration center in the brain, whereas in mammals (Any warm-blooded vertebrate having the skin more or less covered with hair; young are born alive except for the small subclass of monotremes and nourished with milk) this role has been adopted by the cerebrum.
		An outgrowth of the telencephalon called the olfactory bulb (One of two enlargements at the terminus of the olfactory nerve at the base of the brain just above the nasal cavities) is a major structure in many animals, but in humans and other primates, it is relatively small.

	Neurotransmitter enzymes in telencephalon, brain stem and cerebellum during the entire life span of the mouse. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
		Neurochemical analysis of neuronal function was undertaken by measuring the activities of cholinacetyltransferase (CAT), acetylcholinesterase (AChE), and glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD), in the telencephalon, brain stem and cerebellum of the mouse.
		Telencephalon CAT activity was unaffected by aging and in the cerebellum, a significantly reduced level of CAT was only found in truly senescent animals.
		The decreased cholinergic function during senescence was not due to either increased proteolysis or to alteration in the molecular form of the cholinergic enzymes.

	McConnell Lab: Research
		The telencephalon begins to form midway through gestation, and targeted mutations in genes suspected of playing roles in its development often lead to early phenotypes that preclude analysis of their role at later stages.
		Recombination occurs invariably in the telencephalon, anterior optic vesicle, otic vesicle, facial and head ectoderm, olfactory epithelium, mid-hindbrain junction, and pharyngeal pouches.
		What differs between the control and Fgfr1-deficient telencephalon is that the normal decrease in cell proliferation at the anterior tip of the brain fails to occur during the initial stages of OB morphogenesis, indicating that Fgfr1 is directly or indirectly required to inhibit anterior cell proliferation and promote OB evagination.

		In the 5th week, when the embryo reaches the 7 mm stage, the simple plan of the prosencephalon changes; paired telencephalic vesicles and the diencephalon begin to form; the optic cup continues its development.
		Rapid bilateral expansion of the telencephalon results in rearward overgrowth of the diencephalon.
		An early separation of the telencephalon and diencephalon occurs through a shallow tele-diencephalic sulcus which deepens and persists in the adult as the horizontal transverse cerebral fissure (filled with duplicated pia and blood vessels, called velum interpositum).

		These results support a role for the ventral telencephalon in guiding the early development of the thalamocortical tract and identify a new role for the transcription factor Pax6 in regulating the ability of the thalamus to attract ventral telencephalic afferents (Pratt, 2002).
		The genetic mechanisms that regulate dorsal-ventral identity in the embryonic mouse telencephalon and, in particular, the specification of progenitors in the cerebral cortex and striatum have been examined.
		It is proposed that early patterning along the anteroposterior axis of the presumptive telencephalon occurs across a field that is subdivided by different combinations of genes, with some overlapping areas, but without either sharp boundaries or stable interfaces between expression domains (Bell, 2001).

	Neurogranin in the development of the rat telencephalon.
		We have used a novel antibody to map the distribution of the protein kinase C substrate protein RC3/neurogranin during the development of the rat telencephalon.
		Neurogranin appearance in the rat brain is biphasic: it shows an early stage of anatomically restricted, low-intensity expression, and a juvenile stage of anatomically widespread, high-intensity expression.
		It is proposed, on this basis, that neurogranin could be implicated in neuronal differentiation and synaptogenesis during telencephalic development.

		ABSTRACT The telencephalon of 12 and 18 week-old human foetuses was examined for evidence of astroglia-microvessel relationship.
		A TN-C-rich ECM is revealed around the vascular plexus of ventricular zones at the 12th week, and around the newly growing radial microvessels and the microvessel branching sites at the 18th week.
		The observations taken as a whole, suggest that during the telencephalon morphogenesis the immature astroglia cells play a role in the early establishment of the distribution pattern of the neural microvessels and in their growth and maturation.
