Retinoids in Embryonal Development

Sharon A. Ross, +11 more
- 01 Jul 2000 - 
TL;DR: The key role of vitamin A in embryonal development is reviewed and special emphasis is given to the physiological action of retinoids, as evident from the retinoid ligand knockout models.
Journal ArticleDOI

Restricted expression and retinoic acid-induced downregulation of the retinaldehyde dehydrogenase type 2 (RALDH-2) gene during mouse development

Karen Niederreither, +4 more
- 01 Feb 1997 - 
TL;DR: The expression domains of the RALDH-2 gene during mouse embryogenesis are reported, which are likely to indicate regions of endogenous retinoic acid (RA) synthesis and may reflect a mechanism of negative feedback regulation of RA synthesis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Responses to visual stimulation and relationship between visual, auditory, and somatosensory inputs in mouse superior colliculus.

Ursula C. Dräger, +1 more
- 01 May 1975 - 
TL;DR: The superior colliculus was studied in anesthetized mice by recording from single cells and from unit clusters, suggesting that the entire visual field through one eye is represented on the contralateral superior Colliculus.
Journal ArticleDOI

Receptive fields of single cells and topography in mouse visual cortex.

Ursula C. Dräger
- 01 Apr 1975 - 
TL;DR: The visual cortex was studied in the mouse by recording from single units, and a topographic map of the visual field was constructed, and more than two‐thirds of cells could also be driven through the ipsilateral eye.
Journal ArticleDOI

Molecular Identification of a Major Retinoic-Acid-Synthesizing Enzyme, a Retinaldehyde-Specific Dehydrogenase

Dayao Zhao, +8 more
- 01 Aug 1996 - 
TL;DR: In situ hybridization histochemistry on the embryonic trunk reveals RALDH-2 mRNA both in mesoderm and neuroectoderm, with highest neuroectodermal expression in the ventral horn of the spinal cord at two restricted locations along the anteroposterior axis, presumably the subpopulation of motoneurons that innervate the limbs.
