Most of our current understanding of brain function and dysfunction has its firm base in what
is so elegantly called the 'anatomical substrate', ie the anatomical, histological, and …

Over the last 20 years, the choice of neural tracers has increased manyfold, and includes
newly introduced anterograde tracers that allow quantitation of single-axon morphologies …

The loss of nigrostriatal dopamine neurons in Parkinson's disease induces a reduction in the
number of dendritic spines on medium spiny neurons (MSNs) of the striatum expressing D1 …

Fate maps of chick Hensen's node were generated using Dil and the lineage of individual
cells studied by intracellular injection of lysine-rhodamine-dextran (LRD). The cell types …

Neuroanatomical tracing methods remain fundamental for elucidating the complexity of
brain circuits. During the past decades, the technical arsenal at our disposal has been …

Recording electrical activity from identified neurons in intact tissue is key to understanding
their role in information processing. Recent fluorescence labeling techniques have opened …

The somatodendritic morphology of projection neurons in the shell and core of the rat
nucleus accumbens was studied. These cells were retrogradely labelled with Fast Blue from …

Induction and regionalisation of the chick nervous system were investigated by transplanting
Hensen's node into the extra-embryonic region (area opaca margin) of a host embryo …

Hibernating mammals are remarkable for surviving near-freezing brain temperatures and
near cessation of neural activity for a week or more at a time. This extreme physiological …

We compared the morphological characteristics of layer III pyramidal neurones in different
visual areas of the occipitotemporal cortical'stream', which processes information related to …
