KIF5C Deficiency Causes Abnormal Cortical Neuronal Migration, Dendritic Branching, and Spine Morphology in Mice

Investigators observed high KIF5C expression in neurons during the early developmental stage in mice and the human brain. Kif5c deficiency resulted in disturbed cortical neuronal migration, dendritic, and spine growth.
