Interneuron migration involves repetitive cycles of pausing and motion that include nucleokinesis and dynamic branching of the leading process. Here, we provide a step-by-step description of how to culture and record the migration of cortical interneurons. We provide two culture models: the first includes organotypic brain slices and the second medial ganglionic eminence (MGE) explants. While organotypic brain slices provide a close-to-physiological context to analyze interneuron migration into cortical streams, MGE explants are appropriate to investigate the fine details of interneuron morphology remodeling during movement. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Silva et al. (2018).

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007395 Interneurons Most generally any NEURONS which are not motor or sensory. Interneurons may also refer to neurons whose AXONS remain within a particular brain region in contrast to projection neurons, which have axons projecting to other brain regions. Intercalated Neurons,Intercalated Neuron,Interneuron,Neuron, Intercalated,Neurons, Intercalated
D002465 Cell Movement The movement of cells from one location to another. Distinguish from CYTOKINESIS which is the process of dividing the CYTOPLASM of a cell. Cell Migration,Locomotion, Cell,Migration, Cell,Motility, Cell,Movement, Cell,Cell Locomotion,Cell Motility,Cell Movements,Movements, Cell
D002540 Cerebral Cortex The thin layer of GRAY MATTER on the surface of the CEREBRAL HEMISPHERES that develops from the TELENCEPHALON and folds into gyri and sulci. It reaches its highest development in humans and is responsible for intellectual faculties and higher mental functions.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
