TL;DR: The results show that newly born cells recruited into the olfactory bulb become neurons, and a unique sequence of events leads to their functional integration.
Abstract: New neurons are continually recruited throughout adulthood in certain regions of the adult mammalian brain. How these cells mature and integrate into preexisting functional circuits remains unknown. Here we describe the physiological properties of newborn olfactory bulb interneurons at five different stages of their maturation in adult mice. Patch-clamp recordings were obtained from tangentially and radially migrating young neurons and from neurons in three subsequent maturation stages. Tangentially migrating neurons expressed extrasynaptic GABAA receptors and then AMPA receptors, before NMDA receptors appeared in radially migrating neurons. Spontaneous synaptic activity emerged soon after migration was complete, and spiking activity was the last characteristic to be acquired. This delayed excitability is unique to cells born in the adult and may protect circuits from uncontrolled neurotransmitter release and neural network disruption. Our results show that newly born cells recruited into the olfactory bulb become neurons, and a unique sequence of events leads to their functional integration.

TL;DR: The results suggest that the lack of hemagglutinating activity of mutant virus grown at 39.5° is a consequence of the formation of aggregates of virus particles carrying neuraminic acid on their surface, and that the ts defect is in the neuraminidase but not the hemagGLutinin molecule.

TL;DR: A sensitive imaging system in the Drosophila brain that couples two-photon microscopy with the specific expression of the calcium-sensitive fluorescent protein, G-CaMP is developed, demonstrating that the response pattern of a given glomerulus is a function of the specificity of a single odorant receptor.

TL;DR: It is shown that HNF-3 beta has an essential role in the development of axial mesoderm in mouse embryos and marked defects in the organization of somites and neural tube that may result from the absence of the notochord.

TL;DR: Molecular analysis of the genes that mark stages of secondary neurogenesis show similar expression patterns of a number of genes, so these three regions may have genetic pathways in common and be considered for human brain malformations and neurological mutant mice.
Abstract: ▪ Abstract Widespread cell migrations are the hallmark of vertebrate brain development. In the early embryo, morphogenetic movements of precursor cells establish the rhombomeres of the hindbrain, the external germinal layer of the cerebellum, and the regional boundaries of the forebrain. In midgestation, after primary neurogenesis in compact ventricular zones has commenced, individual postmitotic cells undergo directed migrations along the glial fiber system. Radial migrations establish the neuronal layers. Three molecules have been shown to function in glial guided migration—astrotactin, glial growth factor, and erbB. In the postnatal period, a wave of secondary neurogenesis produces huge numbers of interneurons destined for the cerebellar cortex, the hippocampal formation, and the olfactory bulb. Molecular analysis of the genes that mark stages of secondary neurogenesis show similar expression patterns of a number of genes. Thus these three regions may have genetic pathways in common. Finally, we consid...
