Abstract
Using a species-specific marker, we have found that astrocytes, taken from donors of varying ages from fetal to adult, migrate in highly ste reotypic patterns in immature host brains. Migration is primarily with in and towards cell layers, although some cells are seen to migrate al ong fibre bundles. This contrasts with studies using the same approach in mature hosts, where migration is predominantly within fibre layers , largely excluding cellular regions.
