Sulfated proteoglycans as modulators of neuronal migration and axonal decussation in the developing midbrain

Proteoglycans are abundant in the developing brain and there is much circumstantial evidence for their roles in directional neuronal movements such as cell body migration and axonal growth. We have developed an in vitro model of astrocyte cultures of the lateral and medial sectors of the embryonic m...
