Perturbed Wnt signaling leads to neuronal migration delay, altered interhemispheric connections and impaired social behavior
Abstract
Functional consequence of transient delay in neuronal migration is unclear. This study shows that Wnt/C-Kit signaling regulates radial migration in rat somatosensory cortex, and that transient delay of L2/3 neuronal migration leads to interhemispheric connectivity alteration and abnormal social behavior.
