Tubulin gene expression during synaptogenesis in rat, mouse and chick brain

open access: yes, 1991
Studies on tubulin gene expression in brains from three different species, viz rat, mouse and chick, varying with respect to their periods of synaptogenesis, show that the rise and fall in the level of tubulin during synaptogenesis is closely parallel to

Agrin isoforms and their role in synaptogenesis [PDF]

open access: yes, 1992
Agrin is thought to mediate the motor neuron-induced aggregation of synaptic proteins on the surface of muscle fibers at neuromuscular junctions. Recent experiments provide direct evidence in support of this hypothesis, reveal the nature of agrin ...

Cannabinoid exposure during pregnancy: Cardiorespiratory effects and offspring outcomes

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Prenatal exposure to cannabinoids has been investigated across human and animal studies to understand its impact on physiological development. Evidence suggests that early‐life cannabinoid exposure influence multiple developmental processes, extending beyond neurodevelopmental outcomes to potentially affect placental function ...

Cerebellar synaptogenesis is compromised in mouse models of DYT1 dystonia

open access: yes, 2015
Early-onset torsion dystonia (DYT1) is an autosomal-dominant movement disorder characterized by sustained muscle contractions and abnormal posturing. It is caused by a three base-pair deletion (ΔGAG) in the gene encoding the AAA(+) protein torsinA, which

New insights into Reelin-mediated signaling pathways

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2016
Reelin, a multifunctional extracellular protein that is important for mammalian brain development and function, is secreted by different cell types in the prenatal or postnatal brain.

Astrocytes promote peripheral nerve injury-induced reactive synaptogenesis in the neonatal CNS

open access: yes, 2011
Neonatal damage to the trigeminal nerve leads to “reactive synaptogenesis” in the brain stem sensory trigeminal nuclei. In vitro models of brain injury-induced synaptogenesis have implicated an important role for astrocytes.

Identification of Small Molecules that Enhance Synaptogenesis Using Synapse Microarrays [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Synaptic function is affected in many brain diseases and disorders. Technologies for large-scale synapse assays can facilitate identification of drug leads.

Psychotropic medication and the fetal brain

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Brain region changes linked to in‐utero psychotropic exposure. Abstract Medications known to cross the blood–brain barrier (psychotropic medications) are commonly prescribed to women during pregnancy, often for the management of mental illness.

Neuromuscular synaptogenesis in wild type and mutant zebrafish

open access: yes, 2006
The specificity of synaptic connections that is essential for nervous system function arises during development through a series of events, including axon outgrowth, pathway selection, target selection, and synaptogenesis.

Maternal nutrition as a key determinant of placental and developing blood–brain barrier xenobiotic protective functions

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Suboptimal maternal nutrition alters placental and developing blood–brain barrier (BBB) protective function and is associated with increased fetal brain vulnerability. In the placenta, nutritional adversity may reduce the exchange surface area and promote meta‐inflammation, compromising barrier efficiency in a model‐ and context ...
