1 Motor Neurons A motor neuron’s cell body is also often located either in ... or other signals via receptors or through gap junctions (direct connections between two membranes), axons that propagate ...

The three neuron types (sensory, motor, interneuron ... more quickly than the unmyelinated nerves in the body. Myelinated ...

The data convincingly show that the transcription factor Sp1 regulates ephrin-mediated axon guidance in the spinal cord. Although the authors show that Sp1 and its co-activators p300 and CBP are ...

elegans. The VNC is the largest longitudinal axon bundle and contains interneuron and motor neuron axons that form the core of the motor circuit controlling movement of the animal. The order of axon ...

Human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived motor neuron axons fan out and embed themselves into the human muscle tissue, which creates a large connection surface. Disclaimer: AAAS and EurekAlert!

Second, the synapses that mediate these connections can be functionally very different, even when they belong to the same axon and contact the same postsynaptic target. What is the basis for this ...

Aweekly drug treatment strengthens neural connections and enhances neuron regeneration in mice with chronic ... Using fluorescent markers, the team labeled descending and ascending axons coming from ...

I then worked with Dr. Elizabeth Engle to understand the genetic and molecular basis of human disorders of axon guidance. Cederquist GY, Azim E, Shnider SJ, Padmanabhan H, Macklis JD. (2013). LMO4 ...
