چکیده

Neurogenesis in the rat septal region was examined with 3H-thymidine autoradiography. The rats in the prenatal groups were the offspring of pregnant females given two injections of 3H-thymidine on consecutive days in an overlapping series: embryonic day (E) 13 + E14, E14 + E15,. . . E21 + E22. The rats in the postnatal groups were injected in a nonoverlapping series: the day of birth and postnatal day (P) 1, P2 + P3, P3 + P4. On 60 days of age, the percentage of labelled cells and the proportion of cells added during each day of formation were determined at several anatomical levels within the midline nuclear group (nucleus of the diagonal band, medial and triangular septal nuclei), the lateral septal nucleus, and the ventrolateral nuclear group (nucleus accumbens, bed nuclei of the stria terminalis and the anterior commissure). The neurons within each nuclear group form in significantly different waves, those of the midline group forming between E13-E17, the lateral septal nucleus between E15-E19, the bed nuclei of the stria terminalis and anterior commissure between E14-E18, the nucleus accumbens between E17-P2. All nuclei and nuclear groups show characteristic gradients of formation. Both the midline nuclear group and the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (including the commissural bed nucleus) have their earliest forming neurons lying near the crossing of the anterior commissure; younger nuerons are located both rostrally and caudally with the youngest neurons lying in the most rostral extension of the diagonal band nucleus and the strial bed nucleus. The lateral septal nucleus forms along a strong mediolateral gradient throughout its length after neurogenesis is almost complete in the midline nuclear group. Throughout the length of the nucleus accumbens, the oldest neurons are located ventrally while progressively younger cells are found dorsally beneath the inferior horn of the lateral ventricle.

Development of layer I and the subplate of the rat neocortex was examined with [3H]thymidine autoradiography. The experimental animals used for neurogenesis were the offspring of pregnant females injected with [3H]thymidine on 2 consecutive days: Embryonic Day (E) 13-E14, E14-E15, . . . E21-E22, respectively. On Postnatal Day 5, the proportion of layer I and subplate cells originating during 24...

Adult neurogenesis is regulated by adrenal steroids in the dentate gyrus.

The dentate gyrus of the rat produces new granule neurons well into adulthood. In the adult, newly born granule neurons migrate from the hilus to the granule cell layer, receive synaptic input, extend axons into the mossy fiber pathway, and express a neuronal marker. No previous studies have identified factors that regulate neuronal birth in the adult dentate gyrus. In order to determine whethe...

Postnatal neurogenesis in the cerebellum of the cat and tritiated thymidine autoradiography.

In autoradiographic studies on mammalian neurogenesis intraperitoneal injection of [3H]thymidine is the commonly employed route of administration of the labeled precursor of DNA. Studies on the postnatal neurogenesis in mammals, like the mousela,14,16, rata,5, 6 and guinea pig 7 bear testimony to the success and reliability of this technique. In our attempts to study postnatal neurogenesis in t...
