...nce(MGE), migrate tangentially to cortex, and then radially to their final laminar position. The authors report that mice lacking Dab1, the intracellular adaptor protein necessary for Reelin signaling, had impaired laminar distribution, but the tangential migration was normal. To study the laminar migration, ...Neurons find their place in the developing nervous system with the help of a sticky molecule
...of cells. From that zone, crawling neurons migrate radially out toward the surface or "superficial" part of the developing cortex, giving rise to a laminar structure. Neurons forming layers 2 and 3, the focus of the current study, are born last and so must elbow their way through cells lying in earlier formed...News tips from The Journal of Neuroscience
... they tried to place within a target: one of eight radially arrayed circles. In a "rotation" condition, the cursor was rotated 45 counterclockwise, offsetting subject movements. In a "rotation plus strategy" condition, subjects were informed of the offset and given a strategy to cheat the system by aiming for...USC researchers track down the stem cells that create feathers

.... While animals such as jellyfish and starfish are radially symmetrical, bilateral symmetry is, hands down, the dominant body shape in the animal world, thanks in part to the drive for forward motion. That's not to say there is no precedent for such deviations from bilateralism. One well-known example is the...
