Trekking across the Brain: The Journey of Neuronal Migration

Abstract

The correct positioning of neurons during development--achieved through directed migration--is the basis for proper brain function. Several decades of research have yielded a comprehensive map illustrating the temporal and spatial events underlying neurogenesis and neuronal migration during development. The discovery of distinct migration modes and pathways has been accompanied by the identification of a large interwoven molecular network that transmits extracellular signals into the cell. Moreover, recent work has shed new light on how the cytoskeleton is regulated and coordinated at the molecular and cellular level to execute neuronal migration.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Defective migration of Nova2−/− upper-layer neurons is attributed to mis-splicing of disabled 1 (Dab1).

    “The defective migration of Nova2−/− upper-layer neurons was attributed to the mis-splicing of disabled 1 (Dab1), a component of the Reelin signalling pathway that controls cortical neuronal migration and lamination40–42.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
