During prenatal development of the cerebellum in rats, a secondary stem cell layer, the external granular, or germinal, layer (EGL) develops at the pial surface of the cerebellar anlage. The EGL cells arise in a region at the caudolateral margin of the fourth ventricle, and the cells migrate over the surface of the developing cerebellum. A key question is how this migration is guided. We have investigated the possible role of the extracellular ma…
