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 ...

VEGF and Neuronal Survival
(SAGE, 2022)
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is well known for its angiogenic activity, but recent evidence has revealed a neuroprotective action of this factor on injured or diseased neurons. In the present review, we summarize ...

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 ...

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 ...
