Abstract excerpt
Mutations in human doublecortin (DCX) and knockdown of Dcx in rodents cause radial migration defects in the embryonic cerebral cortex. However, the brain phenotype of Dcx knockout mice is largely normal suggesting that Dcx is not necessary for most migration events. Adult subventricular zone (SVZ) cells migrate tangentially in the rostral migratory stream to the olfactory bulbs. Dcx is expressed in the SVZ but it...
