Directional Images Applied to Axonal Arborization Identification
نویسندگان
چکیده
This work presents results on axonal arborization identification in cell culture of neurons from Helix aspersa with the use of the directional image method. We implemented the algorithm initially proposed for fingerprint recognition and classification, and adapted this idea to axonal classification and measure.

Using BELBIC based optimal controller for omni-directional threewheel robots model identified by LOLIMOT
In this paper, an intelligent controller is applied to control omni-directional robots motion. First, the dynamics of the three wheel robots, as a nonlinear plant with considerable uncertainties, is identified using an efficient algorithm of training, named LoLiMoT. Then, an intelligent controller based on brain emotional learning algorithm is applied to the identified model. This emotional l...
متن کاملSpecific Drosophila Dscam juxtamembrane variants control dendritic elaboration and axonal arborization.
Drosophila Dscam isoforms are derived from two alternative transmembrane/juxtamembrane domains (TMs) in addition to thousands of ectodomain variants. Using a microRNA-based RNA interference technology, we selectively knocked down different subsets of Dscams containing either the exon 17.1- or exon 17.2-encoding TM. Eliminating Dscam[TM1] reduced Dscam expression but minimally affected postembry...
متن کاملBrain-derived neurotrophic factor differentially regulates retinal ganglion cell dendritic and axonal arborization in vivo.
Expression of the neurotrophin brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and its receptor trkB in the ganglion cell layer of the Xenopus retina during retinal ganglion cell (RGC) dendritic arborization indicates that BDNF is spatially and temporally available to influence RGC morphological differentiation (; ). BDNF promotes RGC axon arborization in vivo by acting as a target-derived trophic fac...
متن کاملThe Coiled-Coil Protein Shrub Controls Neuronal Morphogenesis in Drosophila
The diversity of neuronal cells, especially in the size and shape of their dendritic and axonal arborizations, is a striking feature of the mature nervous system. Dendritic branching is a complex process, and the underlying signaling mechanisms remain to be further defined at the mechanistic level. Here we report the identification of shrub mutations that increased dendritic branching. Single-c...
متن کاملRequirement of Cul3 for axonal arborization and dendritic elaboration in Drosophila mushroom body neurons.
Cul3 belongs to the family of cullin proteins, which function as scaffold proteins of E3 ubiquitin ligase complexes. Here we show cell-autonomous involvement of Cul3 in axonal arborization and dendritic elaboration of Drosophila mushroom body neurons. Cul3 mutant neurons are defective in terminal morphogenesis of neurites. Interestingly, mutant axons often terminate around branching points. In ...
