Periadolescent maturation of the prefrontal cortex is sex‐specific and is disrupted by prenatal stressJournal of Comparative Neurology - Tập 521 Số 8 - Trang 1828-1843 - 2013
Julie A. Markham, Sylvina E. Mullins, James I. Koenig
AbstractThe prefrontal cortex (PFC) undergoes dramatic, sex‐specific maturation during adolescence. Adolescence is a vulnerable window for developing mental illnesses that show significant sexual dimorphisms. Gestational stress is associated with increased risk for both schizophrenia, which is more common among men, and cognitive deficits. We have shown that male, ...... hiện toàn bộ
Cell death in the development of the posterior cortex in male and female ratsJournal of Comparative Neurology - Tập 436 Số 1 - Trang 32-41 - 2001
Joseph L. Nuñez, David M. Lauschke, Janice M. Juraska
AbstractWork from our laboratory has shown that adult male rats have 19% more neurons than female rats in the binocular region and 18% more in the monocular region of the primary visual cortex (Reid and Juraska [1992] J Comp Neurol 321:448–455; Nuñez et al., [1999] Soc Neurosci Abstr 25:229). In the current experiment, we investigated whether cell death in male and...... hiện toàn bộ
Expression analysis of cadherins in the songbird brain: Relationship to vocal system developmentJournal of Comparative Neurology - Tập 508 Số 2 - Trang 329-342 - 2008
Eiji Matsunaga, Kazuo Okanoya
AbstractSongbirds learn their songs as juveniles. The brains of songbirds have a series of nuclei and neural circuits called the song system, which is indispensable for vocal learning and production. In the present study we analyzed the expression patterns of cell adhesion molecules, cadherins, in the Bengalese finch (Lonchura striata var. domestica... hiện toàn bộ
Targets of horizontal connections in macaque primary visual cortexJournal of Comparative Neurology - Tập 305 Số 3 - Trang 370-392 - 1991
B A McGuire, Charles D. Gilbert, Patricia K. Rivlin, TN Wiesel
AbstractPyramidal neurons within the cerebral cortex are known to make long‐range horizontal connections via an extensive axonal collateral system. The synaptic characteristics and specificities of these connections were studied at the ultrastructural level. Two superficial layer pyramidal cells in the primate striate cortex were labeled by intracellular injections...... hiện toàn bộ
Serine racemase is predominantly localized in neurons in mouse brainJournal of Comparative Neurology - Tập 510 Số 6 - Trang 641-654 - 2008
Kazushi Miya, Ran Inoue, Yoshimi Takata, Manabu Abe, Rie Natsume, Kenji Sakimura, Kazuhisa Hongou, Toshio Miyawaki, Hisashi Mori
AbstractD‐Serine is the endogenous ligand for the glycine binding site of the N‐methyl‐D‐aspartate (NMDA)‐type glutamate receptor (GluR) channel and is involved in the regulation of synaptic plasticity, neural network formation, and neurodegenerative disorders. D‐Serine is synthesized from L‐serine by serine racemase (SR), which was first...... hiện toàn bộ
Extracellular matrix components of the peripheral pathway of chick trigeminal axonsJournal of Comparative Neurology - Tập 283 Số 1 - Trang 38-53 - 1989
Sally A. Moody, Marks S. Quigg, Charles D. Little
AbstractThe directed growth of axons to their peripheral targets during development may be influenced by a variety of intrinsic and environmental factors, the latter including the pattern of extracellular matrix components in the region through which they grow. We investigated the localization within the chick trigeminal mesenchyme of a variety of extracellular mat...... hiện toàn bộ
Decreased number of parvalbumin and cholinergic interneurons in the striatum of individuals with Tourette syndromeJournal of Comparative Neurology - Tập 518 Số 3 - Trang 277-291 - 2010
Yuko Kataoka, Paul Kalanithi, Heidi Grantz, Michael L. Schwartz, Clifford B. Saper, James F. Leckman, Flora M. Vaccarino
AbstractCorticobasal ganglia neuronal ensembles bring automatic motor skills into voluntary control and integrate them into ongoing motor behavior. A 5% decrease in caudate (Cd) nucleus volume is the most consistent structural finding in the brain of patients with Tourette syndrome (TS), but the cellular abnormalities that underlie this decrease in volume are uncle...... hiện toàn bộ
Galanin‐like innervation of rat submandibular and sublingual salivary glands: Origin and effect on acinar cell membranesJournal of Comparative Neurology - Tập 317 Số 3 - Trang 271-282 - 1992
Lukasz M. Konopka, Víctor May, Cynthia J. Forehand
AbstractThe distribution and source of a galanin‐like innervation of rat salivary glands has been examined. Additionally, submandibular and sublingual acinar cell membrane responses to galanin or a cholinergic agonist were studied. Galanin‐immunoreactive fibers were observed throughout the submandibular and sublingual glands in association with ducts and acini. A s...... hiện toàn bộ
