Dynamic Microtubules Drive Circuit Rewiring in the Absence of Neurite Remodeling
A striking neuronal connectivity change in C. elegans involves the coordinated elimination of existing synapses and formation of synapses at new locations, without altering neuronal morphology. Here, we investigate the tripartite interaction between dynamic microtubules (MTs), kinesin-1, and vesicular cargo during this synapse remodeling. We find that a reduction in the dynamic MT population in...
متن کاملNeural circuit rewiring: insights from DD synapse remodeling.
Nervous systems exhibit many forms of neuronal plasticity during growth, learning and memory consolidation, as well as in response to injury. Such plasticity can occur across entire nervous systems as with the case of insect metamorphosis, in individual classes of neurons, or even at the level of a single neuron. A striking example of neuronal plasticity in C. elegans is the synaptic rewiring o...
متن کاملExtracellular matrix allows PC12 neurite elongation in the absence of microtubules
Several groups have shown that PC12 will extend microtubule-containing neurites on extracellular matrix (ECM) with no lag period in the absence of nerve growth factor. This is in contrast to nerve growth factor (NGF)-induced neurite outgrowth that occurs with a lag period of several days. During this lag period, increased synthesis or activation of assembly-promoting microtubule-associated prot...
متن کاملDynamic Simulation and Mechanical Properties of Microtubules
This work is conducted to obtain mechanical properties of microtubule. For this aim, interaction energy in alpha-beta, beta-alpha, alpha-alpha, and beta-beta dimers was calculated using the molecular dynamic simulation. Force-distance diagrams for these dimers were obtained using the relation between potential energy and force. Afterwards, instead of each tubulin, one sphere with 55 KDa weight ...
متن کاملthe role of application of dynamic assessment approach in improvement of iranian efl writing performance at different language proficiency levels
the present study sought to investigate the role of dynamic assessment (da) in improvement of iranian efl writing performance at different language proficiency levels. to this end, after conducting the quick placement test, 60 iranian efl learners were assigned to two groups with different language proficiency levels. in both groups each participant wrote two compositions, one before and one af...
