Eph receptors constitute the largest family of tyrosine kinase receptors and, together with
their plasma-membrane-bound ephrin ligands, have many important functions during …

▪ Abstract Mammalian reproduction depends on the coordinated expression of behavior with
precisely timed physiological events that are fundamentally different in males and females …

Synapse formation and stabilization in the vertebrate central nervous system is a dynamic
process, requiring bi-directional communication between pre-and postsynaptic partners …

▪ Abstract The neurons of the cochlear ganglion transmit acoustic information between the
inner ear and the brain. These placodally derived neurons must produce a topographically …

In the past, attempts to create a hierarchical classification of brain structures (an ontology)
have been limited by the lack of adequate data on developmental processes. Recent studies …

The contribution of extrinsic and genetic mechanisms in determining areas of the
mammalian neocortex has been a contested issue. This study analyzes the roles of the …

The corticospinal system is the principal motor system for controlling movements that require
the greatest skill and flexibility. It is the last motor system to develop. The pattern of …

Eph receptor tyrosine kinases and ephrins have key roles in regulation of the migration and
adhesion of cells required to form and stabilize patterns of cell organization during …

The subventricular zone (SVZ) of the lateral ventricles, the largest remaining germinal zone
of the adult mammalian brain, contains an extensive network of neuroblasts migrating …

Eph proteins are receptors with tyrosine-kinase activity which, with their ephrin ligands,
mediate contact-dependent cell interactions that are implicated in the repulsion mechanisms …
