چکیده
Brain regionalisation, neuronal subtype diversification and circuit connectivity are crucial events in the establishment of higher cognitive functions. Here we report the requirement for the transcriptional repressor Fezf2 for proper differentiation of neural progenitor cells during the development of the Xenopus forebrain. Depletion of Fezf2 induces apoptosis in postmitotic neural progenitors, with concomitant reduction in forebrain size and neuronal differentiation. Mechanistically, we found that Fezf2 stimulates neuronal differentiation by promoting Wnt/β-catenin signalling in the developing forebrain. In addition, we show that Fezf2 promotes activation of Wnt/β-catenin signalling by repressing the expression of two negative regulators of Wnt signalling, namely lhx2and lhx9.Our findingssuggest that Fezf2playsanessential role in controllingwhen andwhere neuronal differentiation occurswithin the developing forebrain and that it does so by promoting local Wnt/ β-catenin signalling via a double-repressor model.

متن کاملPreconditioning for a Class of Spectral Differentiation Matrices
We propose an efficient preconditioning technique for the numerical solution of first-order partial differential equations (PDEs). This study has been motivated by the computation of an invariant torus of a system of ordinary differential equations. We find the torus by discretizing a nonlinear first-order PDE with a full two-dimensional Fourier spectral method and by applying Newton’s method. ...
