Involvement of the Cytoplasmic C-Terminal Domain of Connexin43 in Neuronal Migration
18 Feb 2009
Abstract excerpt
During brain development, young neurons closely associate with radial glial while migrating from the ventricular zone (VZ) to the cortical plate (CP) of the neocortex. It has been shown previously that gap junctions are needed for this migration to occur properly, but the precise mechanism responsible is still in question. Here, we used Cre recombinase, driven by the nestin promoter, to conditionally knock-out a...
