Valiente, ManuelMarín, Oscar2022-10-142022-10-142010-02Curr Opin Neurobiol. 2010 ;20(1):68-78.http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12105/15055Neuronal migration is a fundamental process that determines the final allocation of neurons in the nervous system, establishing the basis for the subsequent wiring of neural circuitry. From cell polarization to target identification, neuronal migration integrates multiple cellular and molecular events that enable neuronal precursors to move across the brain to reach their final destination. In this review we summarize novel findings on the key processes that govern the cell biology of migrating neurons, describing recent advances in their molecular regulation in different migratory pathways of the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nervous system. We will also review how this basic knowledge is contributing to a better understanding of the etiology and pathophysiology of multiple neurological syndromes in which neuronal migration is disrupted.engVoRhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/AnimalsBrainCell AdhesionCell MovementHumansMalformations of Cortical Development, Group IINeuronsAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internacional2005354620168-7810.1016/j.conb.2009.12.0031873-6882Current opinion in neurobiologyopen access
