During development of the central nervous system, successive intrinsic and extrinsic programs control the specification, proliferation, and migration of individual neuronal cell types that ultimately result in the formation of precise synaptic connections. In previous research, expression profiling of the developing mouse cerebellum identified genes expressed during specific phases of neuronal ...

Introduction Injuries or pathological lesions to the central nervous system (CNS) can have a devastating impact on an individual including physical, emotional and social health [1,2]. The brain and spinal cord, which make up the CNS, are the overall controlling centres for all behaviours and movements [3,4]. For example, spinal cord injury is considered to be one of the major causes leading to ...

Fractures of the maxillofacial skeleton are very common which may not only lead to disfigurement of face, but are also a cause of neurosensory disturbances. Among various injuries, zygomatic complex fractures are next to nasal bone fractures; however, involvement of infraorbital nerve is almost a constant features which is manifested by neurosensory alteration in the areas supplied by this nerv...

Alcohol ingestion has adverse effects on the central nervous system (CNS). The hippocampus is one of the target sites of ethanol neurotoxicity. We hypothesized that short-term ethanol exposure alters the expression of neurotrophins and their receptors, leading to functional disruption in the CNS. Male BALB/C mice were fed a liquid diet containing 5% (v/v) ethanol. Pair-fed control mice were mai...
