Abstract excerpt
Interneurons are extremely diverse in the mammalian brain and provide an essential balance for functional neural circuitry. The vast majority of murine cortical interneurons are generated in the subpallium and migrate tangentially over a long distance to acquire their final positions. By using a mouse line with a deletion of the Celsr3 (Flamingo, or Fmi1) gene and a knock-in of the green fluorescent protein...
