Semaphorin Signaling in Vertebrate Neural Circuit Assembly
Neural circuit formation requires the coordination of many complex developmental processes. First, neurons project axons over long distances to find their final targets and then establish appropriate connectivity essential for the formation of neuronal circuitry. Growth cones, the leading edges of axons, navigate by interacting with a variety of attractive and repulsive axon guidance cues along...
متن کاملNeural network plasticity, BDNF and behavioral interventions in Alzheimer's disease.
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by a gradual and hierarchical decline in cognition that is essentially connected with the functional properties of brain areas with the highest degree of plasticity. Corresponding brain regions are mostly affected by histological determinants of AD. Crucial pathways involved in maintaining the neural plasticity were also shown to be impaired in AD. Brai...
متن کاملToll-like receptor signaling in neural plasticity and disease.
Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are a family of innate immune system receptors that respond to pathogen-derived and tissue damage-related ligands. TLR signaling in immune cells, glia and neurons can play roles in the pathogenesis of stroke, Alzheimer's disease (AD) and multiple sclerosis (MS). Recent findings suggest that TLR signaling also influences multiple dynamic processes in the developing and...
متن کاملThe Chemorepulsive Protein Semaphorin 3A and Perineuronal Net-Mediated Plasticity
During postnatal development, closure of critical periods coincides with the appearance of extracellular matrix structures, called perineuronal nets (PNN), around various neuronal populations throughout the brain. The absence or presence of PNN strongly correlates with neuronal plasticity. It is not clear how PNN regulate plasticity. The repulsive axon guidance proteins Semaphorin (Sema) 3A and...
متن کاملPerspectives of TRPV1 Function on the Neurogenesis and Neural Plasticity
The development of new strategies to renew and repair neuronal networks using neural plasticity induced by stem cell graft could enable new therapies to cure diseases that were considered lethal until now. In adequate microenvironment a neuronal progenitor must receive molecular signal of a specific cellular context to determine fate, differentiation, and location. TRPV1, a nonselective calcium...
