Abstract excerpt
Calcium signaling is known to be important for regulating the guidance of migrating neurons, yet the molecular mechanisms underlying this process are not well understood. We have found that two different voltage-gated calcium channels are important for the accurate guidance of postembryonic neuronal migrations in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. In mutants carrying loss-of-function alleles of the calcium...
