Specification of Neuronal Connectivity

Specification of Minireview Neuronal Connectivity : ETS

study establishes an essential role for the peripheral target in directing the expression of similar ETS transcription factors in both classes of neurons. Although the requirement for specific ETS proteins in circuit formation is not yet firmly established, this work provides Anirvan Ghosh and Alex L.

Neuronal Connectivity: Bis Repetita Placent

The mechanism that allows a sensory neuron to extend its terminal branches along the appropriate fascicle within the CNS turns out to be the same as that which positioned the fascicle earlier on, and the gene that controls this position is the same as that which determined the neuron's identity.

Mapping functional connectivity of bursting neuronal networks

*Correspondence: [email protected] The College of New Jersey, Department of Physics, 08628 Ewing, NJ, USA Abstract Using single-cell laser scanning photostimulation (LSPS) combined with broad-field calcium imaging, we measured the functional connectivity of neuronal cultures before and after the developmental appearance of network bursting. From these data, network properties were determined for...
