Live Imaging of Neuronal Migration along Glial Fibers
By differential interference contrast, Nomarski optics, immature granule neurons form an interstitial adhesion junction beneath the cell soma and extend a specialized, migratory process along the underlying glial fiber. In this sequence, a neuron moves along a glial fiber at approximately 50 microns/h. Migration occurs in a series of steps, with forward movement initiated by the release of the adhesion beneath the cell soma. From Edmondson JC, Hatten ME. 1987.
