abstract：:The neural crest is a transient embryonic structure that gives rise to a multitude of different cell types in the vertebrate. As such, it is an ideal model to study the processes of vertebrate differentiation and development. This review focuses on two major questions related to neural crest development. The first que...

abstract：:Antibodies are increasingly being used as tools to study the function of cell surface markers. Several types of responses may occur upon the selective binding of an antibody to an epitope on a receptor. Antibody binding may trigger signals that are normally transduced by endogenous ligands. Moreover, antibody binding ...

abstract：:The question of how the cell surface molecules may be specifically delivered to subdomains of neurons is of particular interest considering that polarized sorting to the axon could enable adhesion glycoproteins to induce fasciculation of axonal tracts, guidance to the target cell, and the establishment of synaptic con...

abstract：:Previous studies have provided evidence for axon-to-myelin transfer of intact lipids and lipid precursors for reutilization by myelin enzymes. Several of the lipid constituents of myelin showed significant contralateral/ipsilateral ratios of incorporated radioactivity, indicative of axonal origin, whereas proteins and...

abstract：:Long-term potentiation (LTP), a long-lasting, activity-dependent increase in the strength of synaptic transmission, is one of the most intensively studied forms of synaptic plasticity in the mammalian brain. In the CA1 region of the hippocampus, the induction of LTP is likely to require a rise in postsynaptic calcium ...

abstract：:Inhibition of potassium channels is possibly the first step in the sequence of biochemical events leading to memory formation. These channels appear to be regulated directly or indirectly by GTP-binding proteins (G proteins), which may themselves be affected by phosphorylation and dephosphorylation in response to elev...

abstract：:Many neurotransmitters and hormones activate receptors that are known to be coupled to their effectors by GTP-binding regulatory proteins, G proteins. Activation of many of these same receptors elicits arachidonate release and metabolism. During the past few years, novel experimental techniques have revealed that in m...

Having examined the complex organization of the GABAa receptor complex and the multiple allosteric interactions between its drug and transmitter/modulator binding sites, the pos...

abstract：:The study of neurite growth in tissue culture has been a productive way to identify substances that may control the behavior of axons in vivo. Molecules that promote the outgrowth of neurites include nerve growth factor, laminin, fibronectin, and a protease inhibitor derived from glia. Evidence that these molecules ma...
