Migratory neuron

Migratory neurons (MIGR) are immature neurons that migrate through the brain. Songbirds generate new neurons throughout life, which migrate through the brain before being recruited into song-relevant circuitry as mature neurons. In our dataset, MIGR have a simple morphology consisting of an elongated soma and an extending leading process, and are thought to travel in the direction of this leading process.
