The present study indicates a rather extensive network of neurotensin neurons in the central nervous system of the dog. | |
50 Citations | This would indicate that GABAergic neurons do not only occur in the central but also in the peripheral nervous system. |
Thus, many neurons in the central nervous system (CNS) of a wide variety of higher organisms project so‐called commissural axons across the midline. | |
The neurons with axons projecting both into the cord and rostrally into the midbrain presumably coordinate activity at higher and lower levels of the nervous system. | |
This study demonstrates that a specific surface antigen is found on a subset of neurons and suggests that other surface markers may be present on other subsets of mammalian central nervous system neurons. | |
Thus, neurons isolated from one region of the nervous system can stimulate the proliferation of non-neuronal cells isolated from other neural regions. | |
34 Citations | Nigrostriatal neurons, a population of pallidal cholinergic neurons, and a subclass (or classes) of neostriatal neurons, including cholinergic interneurons, thus can be classified as central nervous system (CNS) neurons with a relatively strong regenerative response. |
304 Citations | This could have important implications in understanding the role of neurotrophins in the development of the vertebrate nervous system. |
25 Citations | This study indicates that the subset of neurons in the autonomic nervous system likely to be capable of responding to neurotrophins is broader than generally thought, and that p75-expressing neurons tend to be clustered. |
54 Citations | The Pleurobranchaea nervous system may provide the means for studying individual neurons within such analyses of global activity. |
These cells may facilitate characterization of neurons in the human central nervous system. | |
It is likely that a substantial fraction of the local circuit neurons present in other regions of the central nervous system are also invisible as populations to current techniques. | |
This might be also the case for the central nervous system, namely cnidarians are suggested to have primitive central nervous system. | |
In this chapter, we provide evidence that these neurons can be widely detected in the chick nervous system. | |
Our results show that individual neurons of the central nervous system can coexpress neurotrophins and their receptors and produce two neurotrophic factors. |
