Division of cortical cells is regulated by auxin in Arabidopsis roots
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 The root cortex transports water and nutrients absorbed by the root epidermis into the vasculature and stores substances such as starch, resins, and essential oils. The cortical cells are also deeply involved in determining epidermal cell fate.

Brain Sciences, 2016 Perineuronal nets (PNNs) are specialized extracellular matrix molecules that are associated with the closing of the critical period, among other functions. In the adult brain, PNNs surround specific types of neurons, however the expression of PNNs in the

Cortical astrocytes independently regulate sleep depth and duration via separate GPCR pathways
eLife, 2021 Non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep, characterized by slow-wave electrophysiological activity, underlies several critical functions, including learning and memory. However, NREM sleep is heterogeneous, varying in duration, depth, and spatially across the

Current Biology, 2017 Whether you see the person you are in love with, try to listen to your own heartbeat, suffer from a headache, or crave for a chocolate cookie, one part of your brain is sure to increase its activity strongly: the insular cortex. The insular cortex, or 'insula' for short, is part of the cerebral cortex. J.C.

Nature CommunicationsInhibition plays a key role in brain functions. While typically linked to GABA, inhibition can be induced by glutamate via metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs). Here, we investigated the role of mGluR-mediated inhibition in the habenula, a conserved,

The Cytoarchitecture of the Tectal-Related Pallium of Squirrelfish, Holocentrus sp.
Frontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2022 The squirrelfish, which live in visually complex coral reefs, have very large eyes and a special dual-system “day and night vision” retina. They also have atypical expansions of brain areas involved in processing visual information.

Sialic acid accelerates the electrophoretic velocity of injured dorsal root ganglion neurons
Neural Regeneration Research, 2015 Peripheral nerve injury has been shown to result in ectopic spontaneous discharges on soma and injured sites of sensory neurons, thereby inducing neuropathic pain.

Early Actions of Neurotransmitters During Cortex Development and Maturation of Reprogrammed Neurons
Frontiers in Synaptic Neuroscience, 2019 The development of the brain is shaped by a myriad of factors among which neurotransmitters play remarkable roles before and during the formation and maturation of synaptic circuits.

Mechanisms of Neurodegeneration and Axonal Dysfunction in Progressive Multiple Sclerosis
Biomedicines, 2019 Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a major cause of neurological disability, which increases predominantly during disease progression as a result of cortical and grey matter structures involvement.

Motor cortex microcircuits [PDF]
Frontiers in Neural Circuits, 2013 The goal of this Research Topic was to bring together articles representing the spectrum of current research aimed at understanding the functional organization motor cortex at the level of microcircuits. The original research articles in this collection address a wide range of aspects of motor cortex microcircuits.
