S11-01 Neural circuit formation in zebrafish
Whole animal behaviors require precise wiring of the nervous system. Yet how neuronal wiring translates into defined behaviors is not well understood. To study the interplay between nervous system development and behavior, we focus on neuronal wiring (axonal guidance and synapse formation) controlling defined motor behaviors. In genetic screens for motor axon guidance and synapse formation, we ...
متن کاملIntroduction to mechanisms of neural circuit formation
Much progress has been made in recent years toward understanding the underlying causes of neurodevelopmental disorders. Whereas catastrophic failures in early events such as cell fate specification or cell migration give rise to profound developmental defects including microcephaly and lissencephaly, more subtle conditions such as autism, intellectual disability or neuropsychiatric disorders in...
متن کاملRetrograde Control of Neural Circuit Formation
Glial-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF), secreted by skeletal muscle, triggers expression of the ETS transcription factor Pea3 in a subset of motor neurons in the spinal cord. In this issue, find that this retrograde GDNF-Pea3 signal controls dendrite patterning and assembly of a sensory-motor reflex circuit.
متن کاملNeural-mesodermal progenitor interactions in pattern formation:
Mesodermal and spinal cord progenitors originate from common founder cells from which they segregate during development. Moreover, neural and mesodermal tissues closely interact during embryogenesis to ensure timely patterning and differentiation of both head and trunk structures. For instance, the fate and morphogenesis of neural progenitors is dependent on signals produced by mesodermal cells...
متن کاملSonic Hedgehog—‘Jack-of-All-Trades’ in Neural Circuit Formation
As reflected by the term morphogen, molecules such as Shh and Wnts were identified based on their role in early development when they instruct precursor cells to adopt a specific cell fate. Only much later were they implicated in neural circuit formation. Both in vitro and in vivo studies indicated that morphogens direct axons during their navigation through the developing nervous system. Today...
