Abstract

During cortical development, both neurons and glial cells are generated in the germinal zone near the lateral ventricle, migrate in the correct direction, and settle in their appropriate locations. This developmental process can be clearly visualized by introducing fluorescent protein-expression vectors via in utero electroporation. In this chapter, we describe labeling methods for migrating neurons and glial progenitors, as well as methods for slice culture, and time-lapse imaging.
