Researchers at GIGA have developed simple mathematical models to investigate several theories of migration of neuroblasts through the rostral migratory stream proposed in the literature, including chemo-attraction, chemorepulsion, general inhibition and the presence of a migration-inducing protein. Apart from the general inhibition model, all the models were able to provide results in good qualitative correspondence with the experimental observations.
