Fasciculation and Guidance of Spinal Motor Axons in the Absence of FGFR2 Signaling
During development, fibroblast growth factors (FGF) are essential for early patterning events along the anterior-posterior axis, conferring positional identity to spinal motor neurons by activation of different Hox codes. In the periphery, signaling through one of four fibroblast growth factor receptors supports the development of the skeleton, as well as induction and maintenance of extremitie...
متن کاملModel of fasciculation and sorting in mixed populations of axons.
We extend a recently proposed model [Chaudhuri et al., Europhys. Lett. 87, 20003 (2009)] aiming to describe the formation of fascicles of axons during neural development. The growing axons are represented as paths of interacting directed random walkers in two spatial dimensions. To mimic turnover of axons, whole paths are removed and new walkers are injected with specified rates. In the simples...
متن کاملSensory and motor axons are different: implications for neurological disease
Axons are required to maintain specific discharge rates and patterns, and as a consequence, the ability to conduct an impulse with minimal expenditure of energy will create different needs for different axonal populations. There may be only one role for an axon, and that is to conduct an impulse securely from one end to the other, but it is to be expected that the biophysical properties of sens...
متن کاملSemaphorin 3F is a bifunctional guidance cue for dopaminergic axons and controls their fasciculation, channeling, rostral growth, and intracortical targeting.
Dopaminergic neurons in the mesodiencephalon (mdDA neurons) make precise synaptic connections with targets in the forebrain via the mesostriatal, mesolimbic, and mesoprefrontal pathways. Because of the functional importance of these remarkably complex ascending axon pathways and their implication in human disease, the mechanisms underlying the development of these connections are of considerabl...
متن کاملSelective fasciculation and divergent pathfinding decisions of embryonic chick motor axons projecting to fast and slow muscle regions.
Proper motor function requires the precise matching of motoneuron and muscle fiber properties. The lack of distinguishing markers for early motoneurons has made it difficult to determine whether this matching is established by selective innervation during development or later via motoneuron-muscle fiber interactions. To examine whether chick motoneurons selectively innervate regions of their ta...
