Short-term plasticity after partial deafferentation in the oculomotor system
(Springer Nature, 2019)
Medial rectus motoneurons are innervated by two main pontine inputs. The specific function of each of these two inputs remains to be fully understood. Indeed, selective partial deafferentation of medial rectus motoneurons, ...

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, ...

Role of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor as a Critical Neurotrophic Factor for the Survival and Physiology of Motoneurons
(Wolters Kluwer Health, 2023)
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) was discovered by its angiogenic activity. However, during evolution, it appeared earlier as a neurotrophic factor required for the development of the nervous system in invertebrates ...

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 ...

VEGF is an essential retrograde trophic factor for motoneurons
(National Academy of Sciences, 2022)
VEGF was initially discovered due to its angiogenic activity and therefore named "vascular endothelial growth factor."However, its more recently discovered neurotrophic activity may be evolutionarily more ancient. Our ...

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 ...
