We first consider the simplest case of onebranes in $AdS_3$. In this case we are able to properly describe the creation of a spherically symmetric brane-world deriving a general expression for its wavefunction. Then, we sketch the $AdS_{d+1}$ set-up within the context of the WKB approximation. Finally, we comment on these scenarios in light of the $AdS/CFT$ correspondence. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/hep-th/0007064v3
