On old and new comparative neurological sinners: the evolutionary importance of the membranous parts of the actinopterygian forebrain and their sites of attachment.

8 Sep 2009 The forebrain of actinopterygian fishes differs from that of other vertebrates in that it consists of a pair of solid lobes. Lateral ventricles surrounded by nervous tissue are entirely lacking. This peculiar configuration of the actinopterygian ... Read more...

Developmental vitamin D deficiency alters dopamine turnover in neonatal rat forebrain.

5 Jun 2009 There is growing evidence that low vitamin D impacts adversely on brain development. The current study investigated the impact of developmental vitamin D (DVD) deficiency on dopamine and serotonin metabolism in the neonatal rat brain. DVD-deficiency ... Read more...

DNA hypomethylation restricted to the murine forebrain induces cortical degeneration and impairs postnatal neuronal maturation.

8 May 2009 DNA methylation is a major epigenetic factor regulating genome reprogramming, cell differentiation and developmental gene expression. To understand the role of DNA methylation in central nervous system (CNS) neurons, we generated conditional Dnmt1 ... Read more...
