Intriguingly, the hedgehog signaling pathway also acts to promote development of the prethalamus.
2
Zic2a repression of six3b is essential for the correct formation of the prethalamus.

Neural Shh is essential for the development of the prethalamus (ventral thalamus), but its effects on the thalamus (dorsal thalamus) are still unclear.

In addition, these findings support the hypothesis that ventral telencephalic neurons and their axons guide TCAs through ventral thalamus and into ventral telencephalon.

A proportion of TCAs do extend further distally into ventral thalamus, but many of these stall at an aberrant, abrupt border of high RPTP(delta) expression.
