The brain is one of the most distinguishing features of the human species, but is enough being done to fully understand the evolution of the human brain and brain dive...Mon, 06 Oct 2008 15:46:18 +0100Lemniscal and extralemniscal compartments in the VPM of the rathttp://www.frontiersin.org/neuroanatomy/paper/10.3389/neuro.05/004.2008/Status : Published<br> Abstract: The ventral posteromedial thalamic nucleus (VPM) of the rat contains at least two major vibrissa-representing compartments: the dorsomedial (VPMdm), which belongs to the lemniscal afferent pathway, and the ventrolateral (VPMvl), which belongs to the ...Fri, 12 Sep 2008 00:00:00 +0100Histochemical characterization, distribution and morphometric analysis of NADPH diaphorase neurons in the spinal cord of the agoutihttp://www.frontiersin.org/neuroanatomy/paper/10.3389/neuro.05/002.2008/Status : Published<br> Abstract: We evaluated the neuropil distribution of the enzymes NADPH diaphorase (NADPH-d) and cytochrome oxidase (CO) in the spinal cord of the agouti, a medium-sized diurnal rodent, together with the distribution pattern and morphometrical characteristics of...Tue, 27 May 2008 00:00:00 +0100<I>In vivo</I> 3D digital atlas database of the adult C57BL/6J mouse brain by magnetic resonance microscopyhttp://www.frontiersin.org/neuroanatomy/paper/10.3389/neuro.05/001.2008/Status : Published<br> Abstract: In this study, a 3D digital atlas of the live mouse brain based on magnetic resonance microscopy (MRM) is presented. C57BL/6J adult mouse brains were imaged in vivo on a 9.4 Tesla MR instrument at an isotropic spatial resolution of 100 μ...Tue, 08 Apr 2008 17:46:52 +0100Multiple distinct subtypes of GABAergic neurons in mouse visual cortex identified by triple immunostaininghttp://www.frontiersin.org/neuroanatomy/paper/10.3389/neuro.05/003.2007/Status : Published<br> Abstract: The majority of cortical interneurons use GABA (gamma amino butyric acid) as inhibitory neurotransmitter. GABAergic neurons are morphologically, connectionally, electrically and chemically heterogeneous. In rat cerebral cortex three distinct groups o...Fri, 28 Mar 2008 16:39:20 +0000Regionalization of the telencephalon in urodele amphibians and its bearing on the identification of the amygdaloid complexhttp://www.frontiersin.org/neuroanatomy/paper/10.3389/neuro.05/001.2007/Status : Published<br> Abstract: The brain of urodele amphibians has formed the basis for numerous comparative neuroanatomical studies because its simplified arrangement of neurons and fibers was considered to represent the basic pattern common to all tetrapods. However, on the basi...Sun, 30 Dec 2007 00:00:00 +0000Fibroblast growth factor-20 increases the yield of midbrain dopaminergic neurons derived from human embryonic stem cellshttp://www.frontiersin.org/neuroanatomy/paper/10.3389/neuro.05/004.2007/Status : Published<br> Abstract: In the central nervous system, fibroblast growth factor (FGF)-20 has been reported to act preferentially on midbrain dopaminergic neurons. It also promotes the dopaminergic differentiation of stem cells. We have analyzed the effects of FGF-20 on huma...Sun, 30 Dec 2007 00:00:00 +0000Giant neurons in the macaque pulvinar: a distinct relay subpopulationhttp://www.frontiersin.org/neuroanatomy/paper/10.3389/neuro.05/002.2007/Status : Published<br> Abstract: Calbindin positive (CB+) giant neurons are known to occur within the pulvinar nucleus in subhuman primates. Here, we demonstrate by combined retrograde tracing and immunocytochemistry that at least some of these are pulvinocortical relay neurons, and...Fri, 02 Nov 2007 00:00:00 +0000
