In the central nervous system (CNS), functional tasks are often allocated to distinct compartments. This is also evident in the Drosophila CNS where synapses and dendrites are clustered in distinct neuropil regions. The neuropil is separated from neurona
The regrowth of axons within tissue defects in the CNS is promoted by implanted hydrogel matrices that contain BDNF and CNTF producing fibroblasts. Exp Neurol. 2001;170:72–84. View ArticleLoh NK, Woerly S, Bunt SM, Wilton SD, Harvey AR (2001) The regrowth of axons within tissue defects ...
Fill in the blank: A collection of neuron cell bodies in the CNS is called a(n) ___. Fill in the blank: A fascicle of axons is surrounded by a connective tissue sheath called the ___. The area of the spinal cord that contains myelinated axons is called the ___...
Apolipoprotein E4 (APOE4) is the strongest known genetic risk factor for late-onset Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Conditions of stress or injury induce APOE expression within neurons, but the role of neuronal APOE4 in AD pathogenesis is still unclear. Here
The location of the nuclei associated with social communication (EMN in S. nigriventris and VMN in A. grunniens and A. seemanni) were identified, in preparation for this study, via tract tracing experiments (BP Chagnaud, personal observation). In the following, we present a description of ...
Here we report that TRPM5 is highly abundant in rodent chemosensory organs including taste buds, the olfactory epithelium and the VNO, as well as in a subset of solitary cells distributed throughout the epithelia of the respiratory system and the gastrointestinal tract. The latter cells display mo...
Identify the CNS component from the given description: It is composed of the midbrain, pons, and medulla oblongata. The Midbrain: The midbrain is a region of the brain that is located just above the pons. It extends from the pons to the hypotha...

In the embryonic CNS, the development of axonal tracts is required for the formation of connections and is regulated by multiple genetic and microenvironmental factors. Here we show that mice with inactivation of Celsr3, an ortholog of Drosophila melanogaster flamingo (fmi; also known as starry nig...
