Songbird connectome reveals tunneling of migratory neurons in the adult striatum

Naomi Shvedov, Simon J. Castonguay, Alexandra Rother, Delta E. Schick, Joergen M. R. Kornfeld, Benjamin B. Scott

The paper uses connectomics to show that migrating neurons in the adult zebra finch striatum physically reshape mature circuits by creating tunnels through synapse-rich regions.
