Granule cells, cerebellum migration

Rezai Z, Yoon CH (1972) Abnormal rate of granule cell migration in the cerebellum of Weaver mutant mice. 

The types of nervous system effects described in the Minamata outbreak included mental retardation retention of primitive reflexes cerebellar symptoms dysarthria hyperkinesia hypersalivation atrophy and hypoplasia of the cerebral cortex, corpus callosum, and granule cell layer of the cerebellum dysmyelination of the pyramidal tracts and an abnormal neuronal cytoarchitecture. It has been suggested that the widespread damage involved derangement of basic developmental processes, such as neuronal migration (Choi et al. 1978 Matsumoto et al. 1965) and neuronal cell division (Sager et al. 1983).
