Neuronal Migration: Disorders, Genetic Factors, and Treatment Options

Neuronal migration is the method by which neurons travel from their origin or birth place to their final position in the brain. In this book, the authors present topical research in the study of the disorders, genetic factors and treatment options of neuronal migration. Topics include neuronal migration disturbance in neurodevelopment disorders; candidate dyslexia susceptibility genes and disorders of neuronal migration; electrically guiding neuronal migration; and, membrane-cytoskeletal interactions in the regulation of neuronal migration in the adult brain.
