Reelin is an extracellular matrix glycoprotein of ~400 kD, expressed in mammals during neurodevelopment by the Cajal-Retzius (CR) neurons, which are located in the marginal zone of the cortex and hippocampus [1], and by the cerebellar granule cells [2]. In adult stages, CR neurons degenerate in both structures [3], limiting Reelin production and se‐ cretion to GABAergic interneurons [4]. Meanwhile, the expression in the cerebellum re‐ mains being exclusive of granule cells [5]. During development, Reelin synthesis also occurs in structures like the hypothalamus, the olfactory bulb, the basal ganglia and the amygdale. In these last two brain regions, Reelin expression continues into adulthood but at low concentrations [1].
