Lis1 is one of the main genes related to type 1 lissencephaly, a severe brain malformation characterized by the absence of gyri in the cerebral cortex and defective neuronal migration in the embryonic stage, with a predisposition to mental illness. This malformation is related to Miller-Dieker syndrome, whose patients present clinical symptoms such as epilepsy, recurrent seizures, mental retardation, and a predisposition to develop psychotic disorders such as schizophrenia (SZ), since this disease could be caused by neurodevelopmental dysregulation. . Studies in mice in which the first coding exon of Lis1 has been deleted, obtaining a murine model (Lis1/sLis1), revealed an increase in the expression of c-Fos (proto-oncogene used as a marker of neuronal activity) in the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC), the hippocampus and other areas related to the limbic system. These findings suggest the possibility of using this model as a mouse model of SZ. In this project, a study of neuronal activity has been carried out comparing the expression of c-Fos+ cells between the supra-pyramidal (DGsp) and infra-pyramidal (DGip) layers of the dentate gyrus (DG) of Lis1/sLis1 mutant mice and mice control w.t. The results indicate that the distribution of neurons with increased excitability is heterogeneously distributed within the transversal axis of the DG, the intrinsic heterogeneity in terms of the functionality and neuroanatomy of its sheets may explain the differences found in our research and could relate the pathophysiology of neurological diseases such as SZ and the mutations produced in the Lis1/sLis1 model, suggesting a continuation of the lines of research that include the Lis1/sLis1 model as a model of SZ
