In a new study, NAIST scientists, in collaboration with researchers at the Osaka National Hospital and University of Tokyo, report that the L1 Cell Adhesion Molecule (L1 - CAM) is crucial for directed axon migration.
Almost all of these small neurons were identified to be cerebellar granule cells based on their morphology and that they were stained by anti-neural celladhesionmoleculeL1 (Fig. 1A)[19].
