In a recent study, Shvedov and colleagues used live two-photon imaging in transgenic zebra finches to reveal migration patterns of neuroblasts through the complex environment of the postembryonic brain. This study highlights the value of ubiquitin C/green fluorescent protein (UBC-GFP) transgenic zebra finches in studying adult neurogenesis and advances our understanding of dispersed long-distance neuronal migration in the adult brain, shedding light on this understudied phenomenon.
