NGF-induced motoneuron cell death depends on the genetic background and motoneuron sub-type.

abstract：:We studied the neural substrate of anticipation and learning of smooth pursuit eye movements in humans using fMRI. Both predictable and non-predictable eye movements, compared to baseline, activated a common network previously associated with oculomotor function. The temporal dynamics of activity in a subset of these ...
