Abstract: In the developing mammalian brain, most neurons migrate from their origin to distant areas, where they establish permanent residence. Migration is thought to involve repulsion factors that keep the neurons out of certain areas and, by default, guide them into others. One such factor has now been identified, and it turns out to be a protein called Slit, which has already been implicated in axon guidance.
