Vertebrate development: A nervous vitamin
The vitamin A-related retinoids have recently been shown to be involved in the development of the central nervous system, both in specifying position along the head-to-tail axis and in the development of a specific subset of motor neurons.
متن کاملFunction of vitamin A in vertebrate embryonic development.
Advances in molecular biology and retinoic acid receptor research have significantly contributed to the understanding of the role of vitamin A during vertebrate development. Examination of the function of this vitamin during very early developmental stages using the completely vitamin A-depleted avian embryo has revealed that the vitamin A requirement begins at the time of formation of the prim...
متن کاملNeurogenesis during development of the vertebrate central nervous system.
During vertebrate development, a wide variety of cell types and tissues emerge from a single fertilized oocyte. One of these tissues, the central nervous system, contains many types of neurons and glial cells that were born during the period of embryonic and post-natal neuro- and gliogenesis. As to neurogenesis, neural progenitors initially divide symmetrically to expand their pool and switch t...
متن کاملSexual dimorphism in the vertebrate nervous system.
Many sex differences in the structure of vertebrate nervous systems have been discovered in the past twenty years. The recency of these discoveries is not due to any technological advance; indeed, many of the most interesting of these neural sexual dimorphisms can be detected with nineteenth century methods. Nor can there be much doubt that when the behavior of the sexes differs markedly, there...
متن کاملvitamin a and the nervous system DRAGAN
Vitamin A is essential for the early development and normal functioning of the brain throughout life. A deficiency of vitamin A is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in developing countries, and subclinical deficiency is probably present worldwide. The main active molecule in vitamin A is retinoic acid, which is involved in vision, the immune system, skin health, olfaction and...
