TL;DR: The production of newborn neurons in the amygdala, piriform cortex, and inferior temporal cortex seems to parallel the continuing addition of neurons inThe olfactory bulb, and these two concomitant phenomena may ensure structural stability and functional plasticity to the primate Olfactory system and temporal lobe.

TL;DR: This work shows for the first time that vulnerable nigral DA neurons differ from less vulnerable DA neurons by having a higher basal rate of mitochondrial OXPHOS, a smaller reserve capacity, a higher density of axonal mitochondria, an elevated level of basal oxidative stress, and a considerably more complex axonal arborization.

TL;DR: The basal ganglia now stand as a widely distributed neuronal network, whose elements are endowed with a highly patterned set of axon collaterals, and the elucidation of this finely tuned network is needed to understand the complex spatiotemporal sequence of neural events that ensures the flow of cortical information through the basal Ganglia.

TL;DR: The results suggest that the GPe is an important integrative locus in primate basal ganglia that allows single GPe neurons to exert a multifarious effect not only on the STN, which is the claimed GPe target, but also on the two major output structures of the basal Ganglia, the SNr and the GPi.

TL;DR: It is shown that, unexpectedly, cerebellar granule neuron progenitors lacking Boc and Cdon, the vertebrate orthologs of Ihog and Boi, still proliferate in response to Hh, and a distinct requirement for ligand-binding components that distinguishes the vertebrates and invertebrate Hh receptor systems is revealed.
