Social status controls somatostatin neuron size and growth.
Many animal species show flexible behavioral responses to environmental and social changes. Such responses typically require changes in the neural substrate responsible for particular behavioral states. We have shown previously in the African cichlid fish, Haplochromis burtoni, that changes in social status, including events such as losing or winning a territorial encounter, result in changes i...
متن کاملSomatostatin controls Kaposi's sarcoma tumor growth through inhibition of angiogenesis.
Somatostatin and its analogs are active in the inhibition of SST receptor-positive endocrine neoplasms, but their activity and mechanism in nonendocrine tumors is not clear. Somatostatin potently inhibited growth of a Kaposi's sarcoma xenograft in nude mice, yet in vitro the tumor cells did not express any known somatostatin receptors and were not growth inhibited by somatostatin. Histological ...
متن کاملSocial Status, Education, and Growth (1996)
This paper investigates the implications of social rewards on the allocation of talent in society and consequently on the process of economic growth. We consider two sources of heterogeneity among workers: nonwage income and innate ability. A greater emphasis on status may induce the "wrong" individuals, that is, those with low ability and high wealth, to acquire schooling, causing workers with...
متن کاملmTORC2 controls neuron size and Purkinje cell morphology independent of mTORC1
Prenatal brain development is mainly accomplished by extensive proliferation of neuronal precursor cells whereas postnatal brain growth in mammals is mainly mediated by the growth of those post-mitotic nerve cells. The neuron size and the branching pattern of the dendritic tree are highly controlled during development to enable the proper connectivity of neuronal circuits and the accurate elect...
متن کاملVoltage- and activity-dependent chloride conductance controls the resting status of the intact rat sympathetic neuron.
Remarkable activity dependence was uncovered in the chloride conductance that operates in the subthreshold region of membrane potential, by using the two-microelectrode voltage-clamp technique in the mature and intact rat sympathetic neuron. Both direct and synaptic neuron tetanization (15 Hz, 10-s duration to saturate the response) resulted in a long-lasting (not less than 15 min) increase of ...
