Newborn neurons migrate along the processes of radial glial cells (RGCs) to reach their final positions in the cortex. Here, we visualized individual migrating neurons and RGCs using in utero… (More)
Neuronal migration is an essential step in the formation of laminated brain structures. In the developing cerebral cortex, pyramidal neurons migrate toward the Reelin-containing marginal zone. Reelin… (More)
Migration of postmitotic neurons in the developing cortex along radial glial fiber is essential for the formation of cortical layers. Several neurological diseases are caused by defects in neuronal… (More)
Neuronal ectopia, such as granule cell dispersion (GCD) in temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE), has been assumed to result from a migration defect during development. Indeed, recent studies reported that… (More)
Laminar formation in the chicken optic tectum requires processes that coordinate proliferation, migration and differentiation of neurons, in which the dynamics of actin filaments are crucial. Cofilin… (More)
Reelin controls neuronal migration and layer formation. Previous studies in reeler mice deficient in Reelin focused on the result of the developmental process in fixed tissue sections. It has… (More)
In reeler mutant mice, which are deficient in reelin (Reln), the lamination of the cerebral cortex is disrupted. Reelin signaling induces phosphorylation of LIM kinase 1, which phosphorylates the… (More)
