Antagonistic regulation by insulin-like peptide and activin ensures the elaboration of appropriate dendritic field sizes of amacrine neurons

eLife, 2020
Establishing appropriate sizes and shapes of dendritic arbors is critical for proper wiring of the central nervous system. Here we report that Insulin-like Peptide 2 (DILP2) locally activates transiently expressed insulin receptors in the central ...

Response of the brain to enrichment

Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2001
Before 1960, the brain was considered by scientists to be immutable, subject only to genetic control. In the early sixties, however, investigators were seriously speculating that environmental influences might be capable of altering brain structure.

The Actin/Spectrin Membrane-Associated Periodic Skeleton in Neurons

Frontiers in Synaptic Neuroscience, 2018
Neurons are the most asymmetric cell types, with their axons commonly extending over lengths that are thousand times longer than the diameter of the cell soma.

Retrogradely Transported TrkA Endosomes Signal Locally within Dendrites to Maintain Sympathetic Neuron Synapses

Cell Reports, 2017
Sympathetic neurons require NGF from their target fields for survival, axonal target innervation, dendritic growth and formation, and maintenance of synaptic inputs from preganglionic neurons.

Deprivation of Muscleblind-Like Proteins Causes Deficits in Cortical Neuron Distribution and Morphological Changes in Dendritic Spines and Postsynaptic Densities

Frontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2019
Myotonic dystrophy (Dystrophia Myotonica; DM) is the most common adult-onset muscular dystrophy and its brain symptoms seriously affect patients’ quality of life. It is caused by extended (CTG)n expansions at 3′-UTR of DMPK gene (DM type 1, DM1) or (CCTG)

The Controlling Morphology and Structure of Bismuth Dendrites via Electrodeposition Potential Selection

Metals
Electrodeposition of bismuth from an acidic nitrate solution on copper electrodes by use of the potentiostatic mode of electrodeposition has been investigated with the aim to define conditions for obtaining dendritic forms. Morphology and structure of Bi

Interfacial Confinement Effect of Self‐Adsorbed Monolayer Enables Highly Reversible Zn Metal Anodes

Advanced Science
The practical applications of aqueous Zn metal batteries are promising, yet still impeded by the corrosion reactions and dendrite growth on the Zn metal anode. Here, a self‐adsorbed monolayer (SAM) is designed to stabilize the Zn metal anode.
