Cell migration is an essential process in the embryogenesis and maintenance of multicellular organisms. The cerebral cortex contains the excitatory and inhibitory neurons, these neurons arise in the differential region of cerebral cortex. The excitatory neurons move from the ventricular zone to the cortical plate by the radial migration and the inhibitory neurons move from the ganglionic eminence to the cerebral cortex by the tangential migration. The forced expression of the transcriptional factor Ptf1a induced the tangential migration on the developing excitatory neurons. The Ptf1a targeting genes were searched by the microarray analysis. Some targeted genes were upregulated in the Ptf1a-expressing excitatory neurons, but these Ptf1a targeted genes were not involved in tangential migration on functional analysis. We are modifying the screening method for the tangential migration-related genes.
