Retroviral library labeling of clones shows that tangential migration can be non-uniform, with members of a single clone clustered into tangentially arrayed groups. Also, infection at two different stages of corticogenesis suggests that restriction of clonal dispersion occurs at later stages.

Retroviral labeling in rhesus monkeys at a relatively late stage of corticogenesis produces two distinct labeling patterns in postnatal cortex; tangentially arrayed clusters in a single layer and radial arrayed clusters spreading across cortical layers. Together with the known inside-out pattern of cortical lamination, these data suggest that distinct modes of cell division in the VZ produce tangential versus radial clones in monkey neocortex.

J Neurosci 1996, 16:2283-2293 Antibodies against two novel antigens localized to the cell surface of migrating neurons or radial glia, NJPA1 and D4, retard neuronal migration, demonstrating a role for these proteins in migration. Their expression pattern terminates as radial glial processes pass into the MZ, suggesting that these antigens may also be important to the termination of migration.

Science 1996, 272:417-419 The gene encoding astrotactin is cloned and shown to be highly expressed in early postmitotic neurons of laminar brain areas during development. Astrotac tin has previously been shown to play an important role in neuron glial interactions during neuronal migration. These data support the notion that common mechanisms may play a role in guiding neuronal migration in diverse laminar brain structures such as neocortex, cerebellum, and hippocampus.

More than two decades after the initial characterization of the mutant mouse reeler, the gene responsible for this malformation of cortical development is cloned. The reeler gene product, reelin, is produced by the CR cells of the MZ and shares homology to extracellular matrix proteins. This paper describes a complete cDNA for reelin; an independent cloning effort [31] produced a smaller fragment of the reelin gene.

Neuron 1995, 14:899-912. Independent of the cloning efforts aimed at isolating the reeler gene, this group raised a monoclonal antibody, CR-50, against the reeler gene product. CR-50 localizes the reeler gene product to the surface of CR cells. Addition of CR-50 to normal neurons in a culture system is shown to recapitulate the reeler defect in this system.
