Vsx1 Transiently Defines an Early Intermediate V2 Interneuron Precursor Compartment in the Mouse Developing Spinal Cord
Spinal ventral interneurons regulate the activity of motor neurons, thereby controlling motor activities. Interneurons arise during embryonic development from distinct progenitor domains distributed orderly along the dorso-ventral axis of the neural tube. A single ventral progenitor population named p2 generates at least five V2 interneuron subsets. Whether the diversification of V2 precursors ...
متن کاملDiversification of ventral interneuron populations in the Developing spinal corD
Initiation of movements and control of body posture depend on multiple interconnected neuronal networks located in the cortex and in other regions of the encephalon. The activity of these networks eventually converges toward the primary motor cortex wherein primary motor neurons project to multiple nuclei and to the spinal cord and innervate local spinal motor circuitries. Interestingly, wherea...
متن کاملGlycoconjugates Distribution during Developing Mouse Spinal Cord Motor Organizers
Background: The aim of this research was to study the distribution and changes of glycoconjugates particularly their terminal sugars by using lectin histochemistry during mouse spinal cord development. Methods: Formalin-fixed sections of mouse embryo (10-16 fetal days) were processed for lectin histochemical method. In this study, two groups of horseradish peroxidase-labeled specific lectins we...
متن کاملPhenotype of V2-derived interneurons and their relationship to the axon guidance molecule EphA4 in the developing mouse spinal cord.
The ventral spinal cord consists of interneuron groups arising from distinct, genetically defined, progenitor domains along the dorsoventral axis. Many of these interneuron groups settle in the ventral spinal cord which, in mammals, contains the central pattern generator for locomotion. In order to better understand the locomotor networks, we have used different transgenic mice for anatomical c...
متن کاملThe role of gamma-protocadherins in interneuron survival and circuit formation in the developing spinal cord
Protocadherins are a large family of adhesion molecules which have structure similar to that of classical cadherins. The varied protocadherins are thought to play important roles in neuronal subtype identity, axon outgrowth, and in cell-cell interactions needed for formation of complex neuronal circuits. About 60 protocadherin (Pcdh) genes are organized into three clusters (-α,-β and-γ), which ...
