Description
Summary:[Significance]: The present study highlights a fundamental role of GABAergic interneuron-derived Reelin in neuronal migration, in addition to CR cell–expressed Reelin. Further, we observed transient migratory deficits, indicating that Reelin expressed by either neuronal population is sufficient to reverse some lamination defects. We propose a model of Reelin action in corticogenesis based on the spatial and cell-specific expression of this key protein. Because several neuropsychiatric disorders are linked to Reelin deficits in interneurons, this study may provide a better understanding of the mechanisms associated with human brain disorders related to Reelin deficits.
