Agrin at CNS synapses
ononuclear phagocytes can fuse to form osteoclasts or multinuclear giant cells. The latter are hallmarks of Crohn’s disease, granulomas, tumors, and fungal and HIV infections. Though the precise function of these syncytia remains unclear, Takeda et al. (page 945) now provide important new insights into phagocyte fusion, suggesting that the process may differ considerably from other types of cel...
متن کاملPurkinje cell synapses target physiologically unique brainstem neurons.
The cerebellum controls motor learning via Purkinje cell synapses onto discrete populations of neurons in the deep cerebellar nuclei and brainstem vestibular nuclei. In the circuitry that subserves the vestibulo-ocular reflex, the postsynaptic targets of Purkinje cells, termed flocculus target neurons (FTNs), are thought to be a critical site of learning. Little is known, however, about the int...

milk and infant formulas) actually enters the circulation; the omega-3 fatty acids, as essential nutrients, must be largely or entirely obtained from the diet (Cansev and Wurtman, 2007). Because the enzymes that initiate the conversion of these compounds to PC are unsaturated, the administration of choline increases the synthesis and brain levels of its phosphorylated product phosphocholine; th...
متن کاملRegulation of CNS synapses by neuronal MHC class I.
Until recently, neurons in the healthy brain were considered immune-privileged because they did not appear to express MHC class I (MHCI). However, MHCI mRNA was found to be regulated by neural activity in the developing visual system and has been detected in other regions of the uninjured brain. Here we show that MHCI regulates aspects of synaptic function in response to activity. MHCI protein ...
متن کاملStability and variability of synapses in the adult molluskan CNS.
Synaptic transmission was examined between identified neurons in the central nervous system (CNS) of the freshwater mollusk, Lymnaea stagnalis. Four identified neurons were used: Right Pedal Dorsal one (RPeD1; a dopaminergic respiratory interneuron), Visceral Dorsal two and three (VD2/3), and Visceral Dorsal four (VD4; a cardiorespiratory interneuron). Neuron RPeD1 synapses onto both VD2/3 and ...
