Selective targeting of the dendrites of corticothalamic cells by thalamic afferents in area 17 of the cat.

2 Nov 2009 Pyramidal cells of layer 6 in cat visual cortex are the source of the corticothalamic projection, and their recurrent collaterals provide substantially more excitatory synapses in layer 4 than does the thalamic input. They have predominantly simple ... Read more...

F-BAR proteins of the syndapin family shape the plasma membrane and are crucial for neuromorphogenesis.

19 Oct 2009 Coordinated functions of the actin cytoskeleton and microtubules, which require careful control in time and space, are indispensable for the drastic alterations of neuronal morphology during neuromorphogenesis and neuronal network formation. Actin ... Read more...

Grafting neural precursor cells promotes functional recovery in an SCA1 mouse model.

19 Oct 2009 The B05 transgenic SCA1 mice, expressing human ataxin-1 with an expanded polyglutamine tract in cerebellar Purkinje cells (PCs), recapitulate many pathological and behavioral characteristics of the neurodegenerative disease spinocerebellar ataxia ... Read more...
