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, ...

PSA-NCAM is expressed in immature, but not recently generated, neurons in the adult cat cerebral cortex layer II
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2011)
Neuronal production persists during adulthood in the dentate gyrus and the olfactory bulb, where substantial numbers of immature neurons can be found. These cells can also be found in the paleocortex layer II of adult ...

Structural and molecular characteristics of axons in the long head of the biceps tendon
(Springer Nature, 2020)
The innervation of the long head of the biceps tendon (LHBT) is not sufficiently documented. This is a drawback since pathologies of the LHBT are a major source of shoulder pain. Thus, the study aimed to characterize ...

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, ...

Evidence that the extraocular motor nuclei innervate monkey palisade endings
(Elsevier, 2011)
Palisade endings are found in the extraocular muscles (EOMs) of almost every mammalian species, including primates. These nerve specializations surrounding the muscle fiber insertion have been postulated to be the ...

Neural Stem Cells of the Subventricular Zone as the Origin of Human Glioblastoma Stem Cells. Therapeutic Implications
(Frontiers Media, 2019)
Human glioblastoma is the most aggressive type of primary malignant brain tumors. Standard treatment includes surgical resection followed by radiation and chemotherapy but it only provides short-term benefits and the ...

Sources and lesion-induced changes of VEGF expression in brainstem motoneurons
(Springer Nature, 2020-04-01)
Motoneurons of the oculomotor system show lesser vulnerability to neurodegeneration compared to other cranial motoneurons, as seen in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The overexpression of vascular endothelial growth ...

Vascular endothelial growth factor: an essential neurotrophic factor for motoneurons?
(Medknow Publications, 2018)
Artículo
Extraocular motoneurons of the adult rat show higher levels of vascular endothelial growth factor and its receptor Flk-1 than other cranial motoneurons
(Public Library of Science, 2017)
Recent studies show a relationship between the deficit of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and motoneuronal degeneration, such as that occurring in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). VEGF delivery protects ...
