To establish functional neuronal circuits, newborn neurons generally migrate from the ventricular germinal zones to their final positions during embryonic periods. However, most excitatory neurons of the hippocampal dentate gyrus are born postnatally in the hilus, far from the lateral ventricle. Newly generated granule neurons must then migrate to the surrounding granule cell layer (GCL), which suggests that newborn granule cells may migrate by unique cellular mechanisms. In the present study, we describe the migratory behaviors of postnatally generated granule neurons using combined retroviral labeling and time-lapse imaging analysis. Our results show that whereas half of the newly generated neurons undergo radial migration, the remainder engages in more complex migratory patterns with veering and turning movements accompanied by process formation and cell polarity alterations. These data reveal a previously unappreciated diversity of mechanisms by which granule neurons distribute throughout the GCL to contribute to hippocampal circuitry.
