18 Gap junction adhesions in radial migration 1) Gap junctions are necessary for neuronal migration. 2) Gap junction adhesions, but not channels, are necessary and sufficient to rescue the shrna induced migration defect. 3) Gap junctions can provide adhesion in cortical cells and interact with the actin cytoskeleton. 4) Gap junction adhesions act dynamically in migrating neurons to stabilize the leading processes and aid in the translocation of the nucleus.

29 Gad65-GFP E12.5, E13.5 Leading process branching is common to many neurons in the developing brain. (A-D) Serial sections through the brain (A,B) and spinal cord (D) of Gad65-Gfp embryos at E12.5 (D) and E13.5 (A,B). In Gad65-Gfp embryos, Gfp expression is restricted to GABAergic neurons, some of which have typical morphologies of migrating cells. The schematic drawinsg in C depict the approximate localization of sections (A,B,D). (E-H) High-magnification images of cells migrating in the developing cortex (E), thalamus (F), midbrain reticular formation (G) and ventral spinal cord (H). All these cells display similar morphologies characterized by the presence of a branched leading process (arrowheads). H, hippocampus; Dh, dorsal horn of the spinal cord; dth, dorsal thalamus; dra, dorsal raphe nucleus; FP, floor plate; GP, globus pallidus; Hyp, hippothalamus; NCx, neocortex; NLL, nucleus of the lateral lemniscus; RF, reticular formation; RP, roof plate; Rt, reticular nucleus; SC, superior colliculus; Str, striatum; LC, locus coeruleus; Vh, ventral horn of the spinal cord. Scale bars: 300 µm in A,B,D; 10 µm in E-H

30 Gfp electroporated; MGE cells migration involves bifurcated leading processes. Why? Movie 1. Migratory dynamics of a tangentially migrating interneuron. Migration of an E13.5 Gfp-electroporated interneuron migrating from the subpallium to the cortex in a slice culture. Images were acquired every 15 minutes. The total duration of the movie is 7:25 hours. The movie shows successive translocations of the nucleus along one of the branches of the leading process from one bifurcation point to the next one.

31 dsred electroporated; Cells following relatively straight paths make branches with relatively small angles. Movie 3. Branch dynamics in migrating neurons following relatively constant trajectories. Interneurons were imaged while migrating through the subpallium after 12 hours of electroporating the MGE of a E13.5 slice with

32 Gad65-GFP; Changing directions involves making new branches and necleokinesis into the angled branch. Movie 4. Branch dynamics in migrating neurons rapidly changing direction. An E16.5 Gad65-Gfp interneuron migrating through the cortical plate in a slice culture. Images were

33 Branch dynamics during tangential migration Martini, F. J. et al. Development 2009;136:41-50 Fig. 2. Branch dynamics during tangential migration. (A) A telencephalic slice from an E16.5 Gad65-Gfp embryo. GABAergic cells are observed in green in the different regions in which migration was studied: subpallium (lateral ganglionic eminence, LGE), cortical subventricular zone (SVZ) and cortical plate (CP). Owing to the massive accumulation of migrating neurons in the subpallium, analysis of neurons migrating through the LGE was performed in slice cultures in which the MGE was electroporated with Gfp or dsred (as in Fig. 1). (B-D) Representative images of the morphology of cells migrating through the LGE (B), SVZ (C) or CP (D). (B'-D')

34 Branch dynamics during Neuregulin 1 (Nrg1) induced chemotaxis Martini, F. J. et al. Development 2009;136:41-50 Fig. 3. Branch dynamics during Nrg1-induced chemotaxis. (A-A'') Images of a dsred-electroporated slice perfused with a micropipette containing recombinant EGF domain from Nrg1 (13 nm) and Alexa 488 (green channel). To induce drastic changes in direction, cortical interneurons (red channel) migrating through the LGE were confronted with the micropipette at an angle that is perpendicular to their normal trajectory. (B-B') Schematic representation of the trajectory change followed by the cell shown in C. White arrow indicates the micropipette. (C) Representative time-lapse sequences of a migrating cell that developed drastic trajectory changes in response to the chemoattractant. The cell generates a new leading process toward the pipette immediately before changing its trajectory (t=1:35). The angle generated before the most significant change in direction is the largest made by the neuron during this sequence (C). The cell chose the branch oriented towards the chemoattractant to continue migration. The gradient is also visualized in red owing to laser cross-contamination. (C'-C'') Drawings illustrate the morphology of the cell shown in C. Diagrams in C'' depict the movement of this cell. New branches are shown in green; chosen branch is tipped with a red arrowhead. The numbers indicate the angle formed by the branches.

39 Telencephalic Interneurons Multiple interneuron subtypes in cortex, OB and striatum. Most contains GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid). GABA interneurons can be further subdivided: - Ca++ binding proteins(calbindin, calretinin and parvalbumin) - neuropeptides (eg, neuropeptide Y). Not all interneurons are GABAergic: - dopamine - acetylcholine Not all GABA neurons are interneurons.
