Abstract

Aberrant migration of GABAergic interneurons during cortical neurodevelopment is implicated in Timothy Syndrome, yet the underlying mechanisms remain elusive. In this issue of Cell Stem Cell, Birey et al. model developing brain circuitry using "assembloids" from patients, characterizing a bimodal mechanism of mechano-chemically driven interneuron migration inefficiencies.
