The characteristic movement of a cell from the dorsal ridge of the neural tube to a variety of locations in a vertebrate embryo that contributes to heart formation. The orderly movement of a cell from one site to another, often during the development of a multicellular organism or multicellular structure. The process aimed at the progression of a neural crest cell over time, from initial commitment of the cell to its specific fate, to the fully functional differentiated cell. The process whereby a relatively unspecialized cell acquires specialized features of a neural crest cell. Cell migration that is accomplished by extension and retraction of a pseudopodium. The process aimed at the progression of a mesenchymal cell over time, from initial commitment of the cell to its specific fate, to the fully functional differentiated cell. The characteristic movement of cells from the dorsal ridge of the neural tube to a variety of locations in a vertebrate embryo. The orderly movement of a neural crest cell from one site to another that will contribute to the morphogenesis of the outflow tract.
