Neuronal Development: Sorting out Motor Neurons
نویسنده
چکیده
In the developing spinal cord, motor neurons become segregated into important functional units termed motor pools. Now it has been discovered that repertoires of cadherin surface molecules play key roles in motor pool sorting.

Background and Aim: Various investigations have shown that fucosylated glycoconjugates components of the cell surface and extracellular matrix play crucial roles in critical morphogenetic and histogenetic events along neuronal projections of immature neurons during embryonic development. In addition, fucosylated glycoconjugate within the axoplasm of the adult neurons is involved in fast transpo...

Sorting Neuronal Proteins: Lessons from Epithelial Cells At an anatomical level, the polarities of neurons and epithelial cells appear quite different. In a motor neuron, a meter or more often separates axon terminals from David S.

متن کاملVariable Neuronal Participation in Stereotypic Motor Programs
To what extent are motor networks underlying rhythmic behaviors rigidly hard-wired versus fluid and dynamic entities? Do the members of motor networks change from moment-to-moment or from motor program episode-to-episode? These are questions that can only be addressed in systems where it is possible to monitor the spiking activity of networks of neurons during the production of motor programs. ...
متن کاملRetrograde axonal transport of neurotrophins: differences between neuronal populations and implications for motor neuron disease.
During development, neurons die if they do not receive neurotrophin support from the target cells they are innervating. Neurotrophins are delivered from the target to the cell bodies of the innervating neurons by interacting with specific receptors located on the nerve terminals and then together are retrogradely transported to the cell body. This process consists of a number of distinct events...
متن کاملWhich way to go? Cytoskeletal organization and polarized transport in neurons
To establish and maintain their polarized morphology, neurons employ active transport driven by cytoskeletal motor proteins to sort cargo between axons and dendrites. These motors can move in a specific direction over either microtubules (kinesins, dynein) or actin filaments (myosins). The basic traffic rules governing polarized transport on the neuronal cytoskeleton have long remained unclear,...
