Purification and culture of spinal motor neurons.
Motor neurons are responsible for voluntary movement. Lower motor neurons are characterized by large soma, the potential to form very long axons, and wide-ranging dendritic arborization. They receive direction from various neuronal cell types and induce movement of skeletal muscle fibers through acetylcholine release at the neuromuscular junction. Each lower motor neuron can communicate with 10...
متن کاملTrophic effects of androgen: receptor expression and the survival of laryngeal motor neurons after axotomy.
To determine whether changes in androgen receptor (AR) expression are associated with trophic actions of androgens, we have examined the laryngeal motor nucleus (N. IX-X) of Xenopus laevis 1 and 5 months after section of the laryngeal nerve. In situ hybridization was used to recognize cells expressing mRNA for the Xenopus AR and bromodeoxyuridine to assess cell proliferation. In addition, the t...
متن کاملEffects of different culture media on optimization of primary neuronal cell culture for in vitro models assay
Background: In vitro model studies are becoming increasingly popular for experimental research designs. They include isolation and expansion of cells of a particular tissue, such as the nervous tissue which contributes to understanding the underlying mechanisms in many pathologies. It enables the scrutinization of intracellular signaling pathways responsible for cell death. OBJECTIVES: In the ...
متن کاملpassivity in waiting for godot and endgame: a psychoanalytic reading
this study intends to investigate samuel beckett’s waiting for godot and endgame under the lacanian psychoanalysis. it begins by explaining the most important concepts of lacanian psychoanalysis. the beckettian characters are studied regarding their state of unconscious, and not the state of consciousness as is common in most beckett studies. according to lacan, language plays the sole role in ...
Isolated identified Aplysia neurons in cell culture.
Methods have been developed for primary culture of large identified Aplysia neurons. Aplysia ganglia were treated with neutral protease to soften the connective tissue sheath. Individual neurons were isolated either by manipulation with tungsten needles or by tying off their axons with fine nylon filament and were immobilized in a chick plasma clot or a solution of methylcellulose. Somata up to...
