The Monarch Butterfly as a Model for Understanding the Role of Environmental Sensory Cues in Long-Distance Migratory Phenomena

The awe-inspiring annual migration of monarch butterflies (Danaus plexippus) is an iconic example of long-distance migratory phenomena in which environmental sensory cues help drive successful migration.In this mini-review article, I begin by describing how studies Toy Figures on monarch migration can provide us with generalizable information on ho

p600 regulates spindle orientation in apical neural progenitors and contributes to neurogenesis in the developing neocortex

Apical neural progenitors (aNPs) drive neurogenesis by means of a program consisting of self-proliferative and neurogenic divisions.The balance between these two manners of division sustains the pool of apical progenitors into late neurogenesis, thereby ensuring their availability to populate the brain with terminal cell types.Using knockout and in
