Evolutionary Plasticity of Habenular Asymmetry with a Conserved Efferent Connectivity Pattern
The vertebrate habenulae (Hb) is an evolutionary conserved dorsal diencephalic nuclear complex that relays information from limbic and striatal forebrain regions to the ventral midbrain. One key feature of this bilateral nucleus is the presence of left-right differences in size, cytoarchitecture, connectivity, neurochemistry and/or gene expression. In teleosts, habenular asymmetry has been asso...
متن کاملNeuropilin asymmetry mediates a left-right difference in habenular connectivity.
The medial habenular nuclei of the zebrafish diencephalon, which lie bilateral to the pineal complex, exhibit left-right differences in their neuroanatomy, gene expression profiles and axonal projections to the unpaired midbrain target--the interpeduncular nucleus (IPN). Efferents from the left habenula terminate along the entire dorsoventral extent of the IPN, whereas axons from the right habe...
متن کاملAn evolutionary perspective on habenular asymmetry in humans
The habenula (Hb) of vertebrates is a dorsal and bilateral diencephalic nuclear complex that works as an anatomical hub integrating cognitive, emotional and sensory networks to regulate mood, motivation and valuebased decision-making, among other functions. Across vertebrates, the Hb organises into two conserved separate components (medial and lateral in mammals equivalent to dorsal and ventral...
متن کاملVariation in asymmetry of the habenular nucleus correlates with behavioural asymmetry in a cichlid fish.
Asymmetries in brain and behaviour have been demonstrated in numerous species representing all major vertebrate taxa, and may be a universal feature of the vertebrate nervous system. While descriptions of lateralization at the behavioural and neuroanatomical level are widespread, examples of correlation between asymmetries in behaviour and neural structures remain relatively scarce. In the past...
متن کامل11-P013 Gene expression in WT and Pkd2 mutant mouse embryos
Comparison between related species is a successful approach to uncover conserved and divergent principles of development. Here we studied the pattern of epithalamic asymmetry in zebrafish and medaka, two related teleost species with 115–200 million-year of independent evolution. We found that these species share a strikingly conserved overall pattern of asymmetry in the parapineal–habenular–int...
