In each system dis-Cambridge, Massachusetts 02138 cussed, the projection phenotypes of the neurons involved had been described previously so that alterations in pathfinding were easily recognized. Neuronal differentiation has been postula...
متن کاملZebrafish mutations affecting retinotectal axon pathfinding.
We have isolated mutants in the zebrafish Danio rerio that have defects in axonal connectivity between the retina and tectum. 5-day-old fish larvae were screened by labeling retinal ganglion cells with DiI and DiO and observing their axonal projections to and on the tectum. 82 mutations, representing 13 complementation groups and 6 single allele loci, were found that have defects in retinal gan...
متن کاملNkx6.1 controls migration and axon pathfinding of cranial branchio-motoneurons.
As many studies have focused on the mechanisms of motoneuron specification, little is known about the factors that control the subsequent development of postmitotic motoneurons. Previously, we showed that the transcription factor Nkx6.1 is required for the early specification of somatic motoneuron progenitors in the spinal cord. Our present analysis of hindbrain motoneuron development in Nkx6.1...
متن کاملccdc80-l1 Is Involved in Axon Pathfinding of Zebrafish Motoneurons
Axon pathfinding is a subfield of neural development by which neurons send out axons to reach the correct targets. In particular, motoneurons extend their axons toward skeletal muscles, leading to spontaneous motor activity. In this study, we identified the zebrafish Ccdc80 and Ccdc80-like1 (Ccdc80-l1) proteins in silico on the basis of their high aminoacidic sequence identity with the human CC...
متن کاملThe role of L1 in axon pathfinding and fasciculation.
The neural cell adhesion molecule L1 has been found to play important roles in axon growth and fasciculation. Our main objective was to determine the role of L1 during the development of connections between thalamus and cortex. We find that thalamocortical and corticothalamic axons in mice lacking L1 are hyperfasciculated, a subset of thalamocortical axons make pathfinding errors and thalamocor...
