Abstract

The role of Robo receptors in cortical interneuron migration

Highlights

  • We have been investigating the molecular mechanisms that guide the migration of cortical interneurons from their origin in the subpallial ganglionic eminences (GE) to the neocortex

  • Earlier studies have suggested that cortical interneurons express neuropilin (Nrp) receptors, which enable them to respond to the chemorepulsion produced by class 3 semaphorins (Sema3A and Sema3F) expressed in the striatum

  • Our recent studies have indicated that Robo1 controls the migration of cortical interneurons by modulating their responsiveness to semaphorins
