Developmental neurobiology: Unscrambling a disabled brain
André M. Goffinet1
The orderly development of neurons in the mammalian brain is a conundrum that defies imagination: the billions of neurons that are generated around the cerebral ventricles must migrate through the tissue to find their destination, before forming exquisite cell patterns. The formation of these patterns is abnormal in mice with the reeler phenotype, showing that it is controlled by the reeler, scrambler and, probably, several other genes.
