Cerebral Cortex - Cytology
Research News and Information
Definition of 'Cerebral Cortex'The thin layer of gray matter on the surface of the cerebral hemisphere that develops from the telencephalon and folds into gyri. It reaches its highest development in man and is responsible for intellectual faculties and higher mental functions. Common names: Cerebral Cortex; Cerebral Cortices; Cortex, Cerebral; Cortices, Cerebral; Insula of Reil; Reil Insula |

p38SJ, a novel DINGG protein protects neuronal cells from alcohol induced injury and death.
29 Nov 2009 
Ethanol induces neuronal cell injury and death by dysregulating several signaling events that are controlled, in part, by activation of MAPK/ERK1/2 and/or inactivation of its corresponding phosphatase, PP1. Recently, we have purified a novel protein ... Read more...
Dual palmitoylation of NR2 subunits regulates NMDA receptor trafficking.
27 Oct 2009 Modification of NMDA receptor function and trafficking contributes to the regulation of synaptic transmission and is important for several forms of synaptic plasticity. Here, we report that NMDA receptor subunits NR2A and NR2B have two distinct ... Read more...
Disruption of the axon initial segment cytoskeleton is a new mechanism for neuronal injury.
19 Oct 2009 Many factors contribute to nervous system dysfunction and failure to regenerate after injury or disease. Here, we describe a previously unrecognized mechanism for nervous system injury. We show that neuronal injury causes rapid, irreversible, and ... Read more...
