Two ETS transcription factors of the Pea3 subfamily are induced in subpopulations of dorsal
root ganglion (DRG) sensory and spinal motor neurons by target-derived factors. Their …

The projection of developing axons to their targets is a crucial step in the assembly of
neuronal circuits. In the spinal cord, the differentiation of specific motor neuron pools is …

The apposition of axon terminals and dendrites is critical for the control of neuronal
activation, but how distinct neuronal subpopulations establish selective dendrite patterns …

The connections formed between sensory and motor neurons (MNs) play a critical role in the
control of motor behavior. During development, the axons of proprioceptive sensory neurons …

Motor function depends on the formation of selective connections between sensory and
motor neurons and their muscle targets. The molecular basis of the specificity inherent in this …

Target innervation by specific neuronal populations involves still incompletely understood
interactions between central and peripheral factors. We show that glial cell line-derived …

To study the role of NT3 in directing axonal projections of proprioceptive dorsal root
ganglion (DRG) neurons, NT3−/− mice were crossed with mice carrying a targeted deletion …

Protein ubiquitination is a core regulatory determinant of neural development. Previous
studies have indicated that the Nedd4-family E3 ubiquitin ligases Nedd4-1 and Nedd4-2 …

The proper balance of excitatory and inhibitory neurons is crucial for normal processing of
somatosensory information in the dorsal spinal cord. Two neural basic helix-loop-helix …

Homeobox transcription-factor codes control motor-neuron subtype identity and dorsal
versus ventral axon guidance in both vertebrate and invertebrate nervous systems [1–4]; …
