Frontiers in Neural Circuits, 2022 Neurons in the mouse primary visual cortex (V1) exhibit characteristic response selectivity to visual stimuli, such as orientation, direction and spatial frequency selectivity. Since V1 receives thalamic visual inputs from the lateral geniculate nucleus (

Anatomy and development of multispecific thalamocortical axons: Implications for cortical dynamics and evolution [PDF]
, 2016 Thalamocortical (TC) input is a key determinant of the content and dynamics of information flow in the cerebral cortex. This input reaches the cortex via a diverse array of TC pathways, whose intricate and overlapping wiring architectures are not yet ...

Metabolic reprogramming: a new option for the treatment of spinal cord injury
Neural Regeneration ResearchSpinal cord injuries impose a notably economic burden on society, mainly because of the severe after-effects they cause. Despite the ongoing development of various therapies for spinal cord injuries, their effectiveness remains unsatisfactory. However, a

The Requirement of Sox2 for the Spinal Cord Motor Neuron Development of Zebrafish
Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2020 Sex-determining region Y box 2 (Sox2), expressed in neural tissues, plays an important role as a transcription factor not only in the pluripotency and proliferation of neuronal cells but also in the opposite function of cell differentiation. Nevertheless,

Interferon inhibits the release of herpes simplex virus-1 from the axons of sensory neurons
mBio, 2023 Herpes simplex virus-1 (HSV-1) has evolved mechanisms to evade the host immune system and limit the antiviral effects induced by interferon (IFN) produced by local epithelial and immune cells.

The avian tectobulbar tract: development, explant culture, and effects of antibodies on the pattern of neurite outgrowth [PDF]
, 1990 The tectobulbar tract is the first long-distance projecting fiber pathway to appear during the development of the avian optic tectum (dorsal half of the mesencephalon).

Intra-axonal mechanisms driving axon regeneration
Brain Research, 2020 Traumatic injury to the peripheral and central nervous systems very often causes axotomy, where an axon loses connections with its target resulting in loss of function. The axon segments distal to the injury site lose connection with the cell body and degenerate.

Isolation, characterization, and substrate properties of the external limiting membrane from the avian embryonic optic tectum [PDF]
, 1990 The external limiting membrane of the avian embryonic optic tectum is isolated by mechanically separating the neuronal mesencephalon from the overlying mesenchymal tissue.

Flamingo Regulates R8 Axon-Axon and Axon-Target Interactions in the Drosophila Visual System [PDF]
Current Biology, 2003 Photoreceptors (R cells) in the Drosophila retina connect to targets in three distinct layers of the optic lobe of the brain: R1-R6 connect to the lamina, and R7 and R8 connect to distinct layers in the medulla. In each of these layers, R axon termini are arranged in evenly spaced topographic arrays. In a genetic screen for mutants with abnormal R cell
