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 ...

GABAergic projections to the oculomotor nucleus in the goldfish (Carassius auratus)
(Frontiers Research Foundation, 2011)
The mammalian oculomotor nucleus receives a strong γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA)ergic synaptic input, whereas such projections have rarely been reported in fish. In order to determine whether this synaptic organization is ...

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 ...

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 ...

Synaptic loss and firing alterations in Axotomized Motoneurons are restored by vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and VEGF-B
(Elsevier, 2018)
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), also known as VEGF-A, was discovered due to its vasculogenic and angiogenic activity, but a neuroprotective role for VEGF was later proven for lesions and disorders. In different ...

BDNF Influence on Adult Terminal Axon Sprouting after Partial Deafferentation
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2023)
BDNF is a neurotrophin family member implicated in many different neuronal functions, from neuronal survival during development to synaptic plasticity associated with processes of learning and memory. Its presence in the ...
