| Research Abstract |
We revealed that guidance molecule netrin-1 attracts ventral-ward migration of dorsal interneurons in the developing spinal cord. Furthermore, Gsg1, which is known to regulate neuroblast migration in C. elegans, is required for proper radial migration and dendrite formation of glutamatergic neurons during development of the cerebral cortex.
