X-linked malformations of neuronal migration

TL;DR: Evidence supporting the existence of two distinct X-linked malformations of neuronal migration is reviewed and Bilateral periventricular nodular heterotopia (BPNH) usually presents with sporadic or familial epilepsy with normal intelligence, primarily in females, although the authors have evaluated two boys with BPNH and severe mental retardation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cdk5rap2 regulates centrosome function and chromosome segregation in neuronal progenitors

TL;DR: The findings suggest that the reduction in brain size observed in humans with mutations in CDK5RAP2 is associated with impaired centrosomal function and with changes in mitotic spindle orientation during progenitor proliferation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Clonal dispersion in proliferative layers of developing cerebral cortex

TL;DR: Progenitor cell dispersion represents a previously unrecognized mode of migration by which sibling cells become widely dispersed in the developing forebrain.
Journal ArticleDOI

Human brain malformations and their lessons for neuronal migration

TL;DR: Genetic studies of human brain malformation have proven a surprising source for finding the molecules that regulate CNS neuronal migration, and this work notes both what is now known of their genetic bases and what remains to be discovered.
