Neuronal-glial networks as substrate for CNS integration
Astrocytes have been considered, for a long time, as the support and house-keeping cells of the nervous system. Indeed, the astrocytes play very important metabolic roles in the brain, but the catalogue of nervous system functions or activities that involve directly glial participation has extended dramatically in the last decade. In addition to the further refining of the signalling capacity o...
متن کاملDifferential calcium signalling in neuronal-glial networks.
Calcium ions are the probably the most ancient, the most universal and omnipresent intracellular signalling molecules, which are involved in regulation of a host of cellular functional reactions. In the nervous system Ca2+ signalling is intimately involved in information transfer and integration within neural circuits. Local Ca2+ signals or Ca2+ microdomains control neurotransmitter release; mo...
متن کاملNeural Transplantation as a Strategy for Recovery of CNS Functions
Transplants of neural tissue have been used for nearly 100 years in order to clarify the mechanisms that underlie development and regeneration of the nervous system. With reports from Sweden and Mexico that autografts of adrenal medulla produce at least transient and perhaps dramatic improvement in patients severly disabled by Parkinson's disease, the techniques of neural transplantation have ...
متن کاملGlial development in the Drosophila CNS requires concomitant activation of glial and repression of neuronal differentiation genes.
Two classes of glial cells are found in the embryonic Drosophila CNS, midline glial cells and lateral glial cells. Midline glial development is triggered by EGF-receptor signalling, whereas lateral glial development is controlled by the gcm gene. Subsequent glial cell differentiation depends partly on the pointed gene. Here we describe a novel component required for all CNS glia development. Th...
متن کاملAvionics Integration for CNS/ATM
ommercial aviation is changing around the globe. As the number of travelers increases, parts of the system experience severe congestion. Airports, air traffic controllers, communication networks, and the airspace itself (governed by laws stipulating minimum vertical, lateral, and head-to-tail separation of aircraft) are near their capacity during peak times. The ramifications of this congestion...
