Cell–cell interactions are important for neuronal migration. Secreted proteins can guide the direction of neuronal migration through intracellular signal transduction pathways that regulate cytoskeletal organization.

Diabetes Mellitus as a common metabolic disorder in women of reproductive age is rising throughout the globe. Diabetes in pregnancy has various adverse outcomes on different organs development including the central nervous system (CNS) and it can cause learning deficits, behavioral problems and motor dysfunctions in the offspring. The cerebellum is a part of brain that coordinates voluntary mov...
متن کاملNormal and abnormal neuronal migration in the developing cerebral cortex.
Neuronal migration is the critical cellular process which initiates histogenesis of cerebral cortex. Migration involves a series of complex cell interactions and transformation. After completing their final mitosis, neurons migrate from the ventricular zone into the cortical plate, and then establish neuronal lamina and settle onto the outermost layer, forming an "inside-out" gradient of matura...
متن کاملGenetic and Molecular Approaches to Study Neuronal Migration in the Developing Cerebral Cortex
The migration of neuronal cells in the developing cerebral cortex is essential for proper development of the brain and brain networks. Disturbances in this process, due to genetic abnormalities or exogenous factors, leads to aberrant brain formation, brain network formation, and brain function. In the last decade, there has been extensive research in the field of neuronal migration. In this rev...
متن کاملNeuronal Migration: An Overview of Modes, Molecular Mechanisms and Model Systems
A century ago, Santiago Ramón y Cajal had already postulated that neurons born in specific proliferative zones have to migrate to ensure correct neocortical layering. Today we know that neuronal migration is a common phenomenon in many brain regions and that neurons are often born micrometres to centimetres away from the place they fulfil their function. Mutations that lead to defects in neuron...
متن کاملCalcium signaling in chemorepellant Slit2-dependent regulation of neuronal migration.
Migration of neuronal precursor cells in the developing brain is guided by extracellular cues, but intracellular signaling processes underlying the guidance of neuronal migration are largely unknown. By examining the migration of cerebellar granule neurons along the surface of cocultured astroglial cells, we found that an extracellular gradient of Slit2, a chemorepellant for neuronal migration ...
متن کاملCDYL Deficiency Disrupts Neuronal Migration and Increases Susceptibility to Epilepsy.
During brain development, the correct migration of newborn neurons is one of the determinants of circuit formation, and neuronal migration defects may lead to neurological and psychiatric disorders. The molecular mechanisms underlying neuronal migration and related disorders are poorly understood. Here, we report that Chromodomain Y-like (CDYL) is critical for neuronal migration in mice. Knocki...
