Strange Bedfellows: Reelin and Notch Signaling Interact to Regulate Cell Migration in the Developing Neocortex

Neuronal cell migration in the developing neocortex relies on the Reelin signaling cascade to establish the characteristic “inside out” lamination pattern. In this issue of Neuron, Rakic and colleagues report that Notch signaling, long known to regulate neural stem cells, also plays a critical role in mediating the effects of Reelin on neuronal cell migration
