Abstract
The neocortex is a highly complex circuit generating the most evolutionarily advanced complex cognitive and sensorimotor functions. An intricate progression of molecular and cellular steps during neocortical development determines its structure and function. Our goal is to study the steps regulating spatiotemporal specificity of mRNA translation that govern neocortical development. In this work, we show that the timed secretion of Wingless-related MMTV (mouse mammary tumor virus) integration site 3 (WNT3) by ingrowing axons from the thalamus regulates the combinatorial composition of ribosomal proteins in developing neocortex, which we term the "neocortical ribosome signature." Thalamic WNT3 further regulates the specificity of mRNA translation and development of neurons and oligodendrocytes in the neocortex. This study advances our overall understanding of WNT signaling and the spatiotemporal regulation of mRNA translation in highly complex developing systems.
