Marin 2003 - Cell Migration in the Forebrain

 


Key takeaways

  • The forebrain is composed of intricate structures that are necessary for the most advanced functions in mammals.
  • Two types of migrations take place in the forebrain: radial migration and tangential migration.
  • Radial migration creates a cytoarchitectonical framework, while tangential migration increases complexity by allowing dispersion of multiple neuronal types.
  • This paper reviews cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying these two forms of migrations to understand how they shape normal or pathological development in the forebrain.
