The development of the mammalian cerebellum is orchestrated by both cell-autonomous
programs and inductive environmental influences. Here, we describe the main processes of …

Infantile autism is a behaviorally defined disorder associated with characteristic cognitive,
language and behavioral features. Several postmortem studies have highlighted areas of …

Golgi and electronmicroscopic methods were used to define the shapes and intercellular
relationships of cells migrating from their sites of origin near the ventricular surface across …

The subventricular zone of the postnatal forebrain produces mainly glia, although it supports
limited neurogenesis. To determine whether the subventricular zone is positionally …

Recently, we and others reported that the doublecortin gene is responsible for X-linked
lissencephaly and subcortical laminar heterotopia. Here, we show that Doublecortin is …

Early infantile autism is a behaviorally defined syndrome that is often associated with
abnormalities on neurologic examination and seizures. We report on the brain of a 29-year …

A general rule in the develo** central nervous system is that cells are generated in sites
different from those in which they will later reside. The intervening migrations, particularly in …

Granule cells (GCs) are the most numerous cell type in the cerebellum and indeed, in the
brain: at least 99% of all cerebellar neurons are granule cells. In this review article, we first …

PROGRAMMED cell death (apoptosis) is a prominent feature of the development of the
immune and nervous systems1, 2. The identification of the Caenorhabditis elegans cell …

Since descriptions of neural precursor cells (NPCs) were published in the late 19th century,
neuroanatomists have used a variety of terms to describe these cells, each term reflecting …
