A time and a place for nkx2-1 in interneuron specification and migration. Elias, L. A B, Potter, G. B, & Kriegstein, A. R Neuron, 59(5):679–682, September, 2008.
abstract   bibtex   
The homeobox transcription factor, Nkx2-1, plays multiple roles during forebrain development. Using restricted genetic ablation of Nkx2-1, in this issue of Neuron, Butt et al. show that Nkx2-1 in telencephalic progenitors regulates interneuron subtype specification, while Nóbrega-Pereira et al. demonstrate that postmitotic Nkx2-1 regulates migration and sorting of interneurons to the striatum or cortex by controlling the expression of the guidance receptor, Neuropilin-2.
