Sonic hedgehog signaling controls thalamic progenitor identity and nuclei specification in mice.
The mammalian thalamus is located in the diencephalon and is composed of dozens of morphologically and functionally distinct nuclei. The majority of these nuclei project axons to the neocortex in unique patterns and play critical roles in sensory, motor, and cognitive functions. It has been assumed that the adult thalamus is derived from neural progenitor cells located within the alar plate of ...
متن کاملSpecification of Neurotransmitter Identity by Phox2 Proteins in Neural Crest Stem Cells
We have investigated the specification of noradrenergic neurotransmitter identity in neural crest stem cells (NCSCs). Retroviral expression of both wild-type and dominant-negative forms of the paired homeodomain transcription factor Phox2a indicates a crucial and direct role for this protein (and/or the closely related Phox2b) in the regulation of endogenous tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) and dopami...
متن کاملHomeostatic activity-dependent paradigm for neurotransmitter specification.
Calcium-signaling plays a central role in specification of the chemical transmitters neurons express, adjusting the numbers of cells that express excitatory and inhibitory transmitters as if to achieve homeostatic regulation of excitability. Here we review the extent to which this activity-dependent regulation is observed for a range of different transmitters. Strikingly the homeostatic paradig...
متن کاملThalamic nuclei after human blunt head injury.
Paraffin-embedded blocks from the thalamus of 9 control patients, 9 moderately disabled, 12 severely disabled, and 10 vegetative head-injured patients assessed using the Glasgow Outcome Scale and identified from the Department of Neuropathology archive. Neurons, astrocytes, macrophages, and activated microglia were differentiated by Luxol fast blue/cresyl violet, GFAP, CD68, and CR3/43 staining...
متن کاملGABA affinity shapes IPSCs in thalamic nuclei.
Precise neural inhibition in thalamocortical circuits is required for the generation of sleep spindles and suppression of hypersynchrony associated with epileptiform activity. Accordingly, the time course of GABA(A) receptor-mediated IPSC events is an important parameter influencing the strength of inhibitory signaling. In the thalamus, two distinct types of IPSC kinetics are observed: thalamoc...
