Abstract
Cell migration occurs often during mammalian brain development and persists in a few regions in the adult brain. Defective migratory behavior of neurons is thought to be the underlying cause of several congenital cortical disorders.Thus, an understanding of the dynamics and molecular mechanisms of neuronal cell migration could expand our knowledge of normal development of the central nervous system (CNS) as well as help in deciphering the pathogenesis of various developmental dis orders (Aicardi 1994; Raymond et al. 1994; Uher and Golden 2000; Walsh and Goffinet 2000).
