Pathfinding and target selection by developing geniculocortical axons.
During development of the mammalian cerebral cortex, thalamic axons must grow into the telencephalon and select appropriate cortical targets. In order to begin to understand the cellular interactions that are important in cortical target selection by thalamic axons, we have examined the morphology of axons from the lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN) as they navigate their way to the primary visua...
متن کاملCortical target depletion and ingrowth of geniculocortical axons: implications for cortical specification.
During the early development of the neocortex, thalamocortical axons arrive potentially in time to instruct migrating cortical neurons in several aspects of local differentiation, such as number of layer IV neurons and efferent connectivity. Migration of layer IV neurons into the cortical plate just precedes thalamocortical invasion, suggesting that these neurons could cue or tropically direct ...
متن کاملGlial Cells Mediate Target Layer Selection of Retinal Axons in the Developing Visual System of Drosophila
In the fly visual system, each class of photoreceptor neurons (R cells) projects to a different synaptic layer in the brain. R1-R6 axons terminate in the lamina, while R7 and R8 axons pass through the lamina and stop in the medulla. As R cell axons enter the lamina, they encounter both glial cells and neurons. The cellular requirement for R1-R6 targeting was determined using loss-of-function mu...
متن کاملType III neuregulin 1 regulates pathfinding of sensory axons in the developing spinal cord and periphery.
Sensory axons must develop appropriate connections with both central and peripheral targets. Whereas the peripheral cues have provided a classic model for neuron survival and guidance, less is known about the central cues or the coordination of central and peripheral connectivity. Here we find that type III Nrg1, in addition to its known effect on neuron survival, regulates axon pathfinding. In...
متن کاملSegregation and pathfinding of callosal axons through EphA3 signaling.
The corpus callosum, composed of callosal axons, is the largest structure among commissural connections in eutherian animals. Axon pathfinding of callosal neurons has been shown to be guided by intermediate targets, such as midline glial structures. However, it has not yet been understood completely how axon-axon interactions, another major mechanism for axon pathfinding, are involved in the pa...
