Evidence that Axon-Derived Neuregulin Promotes Oligodendrocyte Survival in the Developing Rat Optic Nerve
It was previously shown that newly formed oligodendrocytes depend on axons for their survival, but the nature of the axon-derived survival signal(s) remained unknown. We show here that neuregulin (NRG) supports the survival of purified oligodendrocytes and aged oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) but not of young OPCs. We demonstrate that axons promote the survival of purified oligodendrocyt...
متن کاملThe first retinal axon growth in the mouse optic chiasm: axon patterning and the cellular environment.
The retinofugal pathway is a useful model for axon guidance because fibers from each eye project to targets on both sides of the brain. Studies using static and real time analyses in mice at E15-17 demonstrated that uncrossed axons from ventrotemporal retina diverge from crossed axons in the optic chiasm, where specialized resident cells may direct divergence. Other studies, however, suggest th...
متن کاملThe role of L1 in axon pathfinding and fasciculation.
The neural cell adhesion molecule L1 has been found to play important roles in axon growth and fasciculation. Our main objective was to determine the role of L1 during the development of connections between thalamus and cortex. We find that thalamocortical and corticothalamic axons in mice lacking L1 are hyperfasciculated, a subset of thalamocortical axons make pathfinding errors and thalamocor...
متن کاملAxon pathway boundaries in the developing brain. I. Cellular and molecular determinants that separate the optic and olfactory projections.
When optic fibers first approach the chiasmatic region of the diencephalon in the chick embryo on days 3 and 4 (E3-4), they rarely grow rostrally into the olfactory region of the telencephalon. Conversely, olfactory tract axons grow as far as, but never cross the diencephalic/telencephalic (D/T) boundary to enter the optic chiasm. In this study, a region of specialized neuroepithelium, original...
متن کاملEphA4 signaling promotes axon segregation in the developing auditory system.
Precision of synaptic connections within neural circuits is essential for the accurate processing of sensory information. Specificity is exemplified at cellular and subcellular levels in the chick auditory brainstem, where nucleus magnocellularis (NM) neurons project bilaterally to nucleus laminaris (NL). Dorsal dendrites of NL neurons receive input from ipsilateral, but not contralateral, bran...
