This image shows several cerebellar migratory neuron aggregates 24 hours after plating. The neurons are depleted of mitotic motor, KIFC1 and stained with β-III tubulin (black) and DAPI (yellow-orange). Concentrated presence of neurons in the aggregate forms an intense yellow-orange signal and as neurons migrate out of the aggregate, the intensity of this signal subsidizes. But even after 24 hours, far fewer cells migrated out from the aggregate due to the inability of the neuron to directionally migrate out from the aggregates in the absence of KIFC1.
