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 N. K., Woerly S.,
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
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 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 ...
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 ___...
4 ChIP assays demonstrate binding of HIF1A to a region between − 77 and − 218 relative to the transcription start site and harboring the putative HREs 5 to 8 as well as the GT repeat tract. Schematic describing the location of putative HREs, the GT repeat tract, and primers used ...
The spinal cord is composed of the CNS. a. True b. FalseThe Nervous SystemThe nervous system is divided into the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system. Both of these subdivisions work together in order for us to be able to sense our environment....
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...
In contrast, lordosis behavior did not depend on GnRH neurons downstream of RP3V kisspeptin neurons. To dissect the downstream neural circuitry-mediating lordosis in female mice, we then employed a combination of genetic transsynaptic tracing and viral tract tracing from RP3V kisspeptin neurons. We ...
