Fate of presynaptic afferents to Purkinje cells in the adult nervous mutant mouse: a model to study presynaptic stabilization.

TL;DR: The significance of the persistence of normal looking presynaptic elements long time after deprivation of their postsynaptic targets is discussed in relation to the role that function can play in the stabilization of synaptic contacts.
Journal ArticleDOI

In vivo imaging of dorsal root regeneration: Rapid immobilization and presynaptic differentiation at the CNS/PNS border

TL;DR: The first in vivo imaging study of DR regeneration is reported, suggesting that axons are neither repelled nor continuously inhibited at the DREZ by growth-inhibitory molecules but are rapidly stabilized as they invade the CNS territory of the D REZ, forming presynaptic terminal endings on non-neuronal cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mechanisms of axonal spheroid formation in central nervous system Wallerian degeneration.

TL;DR: Axonal swellings are hallmarks of many neurodegenerative conditions, and data suggest that they are a manifestation of Wallerian-like degeneration in some cases, which may be a more common component mechanism in CNS diseases than previously thought.

Protein Metabolism in Nerve Cells

TL;DR: The incessant traffic of components from the perikaryon toward the nerve endings accounts for both the maintenance and the plasticity of neural circuits.
Journal ArticleDOI

Adult neurogenesis and hippocampal memory function: new cells, more plasticity, new memories?

TL;DR: Evidence is reviewed showing a strong correlation between certain types of memory functions and adult neurogenesis in the hippocampus, essential to understand the function of neural networks and to develop effective therapies for various cognitive dysfunctions.
