Abstract

Active migrating neurons Interneurons migrate long distances before settling into a specific microcircuit. Because these cells are known to participate in correlated network activity, it is possible that electrical inputs may influence migration and integration. By manipulating neuronal activity in subsets of developing interneurons, Fishell and colleagues find that proper migration does indeed depend on this activity, involving a transcription-factor signalling pathway specific to those interneuron cell types.
