The function of connexin43 in neuronal migration and cortical development
During brain development, young neurons closely associate with radial glia while migrating from the ventricular zone (VZ) to the cortical plate (CP) of the neocortex. It has previously been shown that gap junctions are needed for this migration to occur properly, but the precise mechanism responsibl...
