The curious case of the spinning neuronal mass

Rotating cells have been reported in past. Rotation of cells and cell clusters has been associated with migration and development. This observation reports for the first time a rotating cluster of cells isolated from the hippocampi of neonatal mouse pups. The speed of rotation in these clusters is immensely high. Further analysis of such rotating neurons can shed valuable clues on the origin of such cells, their electro-mechanical properties and their role in the development of the brain.
