Motile cilia generate constant fluid flow over epithelial tissue, and thereby influence diverse physiological processes. Such functions of ciliated cells depend on the planar polarity of the ciliated cells. Here we report that basal bodies move in the apical cell membrane during differentiation to accumulate in the anterior region of ependymal cells that line the surface of brain ventricles. Moreover, we show that non-muscle myosin II is a key regulator of this distribution of basal bodies.
