note = {The navigation of precursor cells of inhibitory interneurons from their germinal zone inside the fourth ventricle through the white matter towards their final destination within the cerebellum's molecular layer is an ongoing research topic. On the basis of time-lapse images of cerebellar slices of P8 mice we performed automated model-based cell tracking employing image forces derived from pixel brightness values. We found that cells show dierent modes of migration in cerebellar grey and white matter. Furthermore, we found indication that these cells migrate along guiding structures. We then developed a model of this type of cell using an approach of structure in uenced protrusive activity. We showed that the model is capable of generating cell paths very similar to tracked real cell paths of interneuronal precursor cells and, furthermore, were able to depict both observed modes of migration. Our model predicts that the change in migration behaviour originates solely from a change in guiding structures and not from internal changes of the cells. The two main attributes of a guiding structure, namely attraction of the cells in question and imparting guidance information, are the underlying cause of changes in migration behaviour.},
