Functional Diversity of Neurotrophin Actions on the Oculomotor System
(MDPI AG, 2016)
Neurotrophins play a principal role in neuronal survival and differentiation during development, but also in the maintenance of appropriate adult neuronal circuits and phenotypes. In the oculomotor system, we have demonstrated ...

Nerve Growth Factor Regulates the Firing Patterns and Synaptic Composition of Motoneurons
(Society for Neuroscience, 2010)
Target-derived neurotrophins exert powerful synaptotrophic actions in the adult brain and are involved in the regulation of different forms of synaptic plasticity. Target disconnection produces a profound synaptic stripping ...

Effects of Selective Deafferentation on the Discharge Characteristics of Medial Rectus Motoneurons
(Society for Neuroscience, 2018)
Medial rectus motoneurons receive two main pontine inputs: abducens internuclear neurons, whose axons course through the medial longitudinal fasciculus (MLF), and neurons in the lateral vestibular nucleus, whose axons ...

Neural Progenitor Cell Implants in the Lesioned Medial Longitudinal Fascicle of Adult Cats Regulate Synaptic Composition and Firing Properties of Abducens Internuclear Neurons
(Society for Neuroscience, 2014)
Transplants of neural progenitor cells (NPCs) into the injured CNS have been proposed as a powerful tool for brain repair, but, to date, few studies on the physiological response of host neurons have been reported. Therefore, ...

Palisade endings of extraocular muscles develop postnatally following different time courses
(Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology, 2017)
PURPOSE. To analyze in a frontal-eyed mammal (cat) the postnatal development of palisade endings in extraocular muscles (EOMs) and to compare the spatiotemporal and quantitative patterns of palisade endings among individual ...

Dual encoding of muscle tension and eye position by abducens motoneurons
(Society for Neuroscience, 2011)
Extraocular muscle tension associated with spontaneous eye movements has a pulse-slide-step profile similar to that of motoneuron firing rate. Existing models only relate motoneuron firing to eye position, velocity and ...

Complementary Actions of BDNF and Neurotrophin-3 on the Firing Patterns and Synaptic Composition of Motoneurons
(Society for Neuroscience, 2009)
Neurotrophins, as target-derived factors, are essential for neuronal survival during development, but during adulthood, their scope of actions widens to become also mediators of synaptic and morphological plasticity. Target ...

Palisade Endings Are a Constant Feature in the Extraocular Muscles of Frontal-Eyed, But Not Lateral-Eyed, Animals
(Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology, 2016)
Purpose To test whether palisade endings are a general feature of mammalian extraocular muscles (EOMs). Methods Thirteen species, some frontal-eyed (human, monkey, cat, and ferret), and others lateral-eyed (pig, ...

Axons Giving Rise to the Palisade Endings of Feline Extraocular Muscles Display Motor Features
(Society for Neuroscience, 2013)
Palisade endings are nerve specializations found in the extraocular muscles (EOMs) of mammals, including primates. They have long been postulated to be proprioceptors. It was recently demonstrated that palisade endings are ...
