Abstract excerpt
Netrin-1 was previously shown to be required for the tangential migration and survival of neurons that will form the inferior olivary nucleus (ION). Surprisingly, the compared analysis of mutant mice lacking either Netrin-1 or its major receptor DCC reveals striking phenotypic differences besides common features. Although ectopic stops of ION cell bodies occur in the same positions along the migratory stream in...
