TL;DR: Microglia undergo a quantifiable morphological change upon neuraminidase induced inflammation and an objective method for microglia classification based on morphological parameters is proposed.

TL;DR: Skeletal deformities in larval, juvenile and adult stages of fish from a Spanish experimental culturing centre are studied, characterised by V-shaped dorsoventral curvature of the body axis including the vertebral column and the spinal cord.

TL;DR: The neuroepithelium is a germinal epithelium containing progenitor cells that produce almost all of the central nervous system cells, including the ependyma; therefore, they separate the cerebrospinal fluid that fills cavities from the developing or mature brain parenchyma.

TL;DR: After intracerebroventricular treatment with insulin‐like growth factor I (IGF‐I), cell proliferation significantly increased in both the periventricular and the parenchymal zones of the whole hypothalamus, suggesting that the central overlapping zone of the rat hypothalamic wall could be considered a neurogenic niche in response to IGF‐I.

TL;DR: A role for LPA(1) in cortical neural precursors resulting from analysis of a variant of a previously characterized LPA-null mutant that arose spontaneously during colony expansion is reported and it is suggested that the presence of genetic modifiers of LPA (1) influences cerebral cortical development.
