Off on a tangent: thalamocortical axons traverse a permissive corridor across the basal telencephalon

Neuron
Asif M Maroof, Stewart A Anderson

Abstract

The forebrain is one of most complex cellular structures known. Two phenomena that enable this complexity are tangential migrations that mix neurons from distinct progenitor fields, and axon guidance across intervening, noninnervated fields. A new paper in Cell by López-Bendito et al. has discovered the convergence of these phenomena in the critical thalamocortical system.

Axon Guidance

Axon guidance is a complex neural developmental field that investigates mechanisms through which neurons send out axons to reach its target. Here is the latest research in this domain.
