summaryPosition of neurons defines their identity, synaptic connections and ultimately function. Since cortical neurons are not generated locally, they migrate from multiple, distant sites of origin. New experimental approaches enable identification of genetic and environmental factors involved in neuronal production and migration to proper areal and laminar positions, providing insights into development, evolution and the pathogenesis of brain disorders.
