Migration of dI5 Reelin-Lmx1b-Zfhx3 and Disabled-1-Lmx1b-Zfhx3 neurons contribute to the superficial dorsal horn and lamina V

Griselda Metta Yvone, Carmine L. Chavez‐Martinez, Mahlet A. Mekonnen, Samantha Zimmer, Patricia E. Phelps

The paper identifies the origin and migration patterns of specific neurons in the dorsal horn, showing that Reln+Lmx1b+ and Dab1+Lmx1b+ neurons derive from dI5 or dILB neurons and contribute to different laminae.
