MIF versus SIF motoneurons, what are their respective contribution in the oculomotor medial rectus pool?
(Society for Neuroscience, 2021)
Multiply-innervated muscle fibers (MIFs) are peculiar to the extraocular muscles as they are non-twitch but produce a slow build up in tension on repetitive stimulation. The motoneurons innervating MIFs establish en grappe ...

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 ...

Preservation of KCC2 expression in axotomized abducens motoneurons and its enhancement by VEGF
(Springer Nature, 2023)
The potassium chloride cotransporter 2 (KCC2) is the main Cl− extruder in neurons. Any alteration in KCC2 levels leads to changes in Cl− homeostasis and, consequently, in the polarity and amplitude of inhibitory synaptic ...

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 ...
