GABA-containing interneurons are crucial to both the development and function of the
cerebral cortex. Unlike cortical projection neurons, which have a relatively conserved set of …

action III. Orphan Nuclear Receptors A. Definition

Natural isolates of C. elegans exhibit either solitary or social feeding behavior. Solitary
foragers move slowly on a bacterial lawn and disperse across it, while social foragers move …

BLAIR that there is no generalised frontal cortical dysfunction in individuals with
psychopathy there is one region of the frontal cortex that could be impaired, ie the …

Children and young adults with glioblastoma (GBM) have a median survival rate of only 12
to 15 months, and these GBMs are clinically and biologically distinct from histologically …

Nuclear receptors are ancient ligand-regulated transcription factors that control key
metabolic and developmental pathways. The fruitfly Drosophila melanogaster has only 18 …

Neural stem cell self-renewal and differentiation is orchestrated by precise control of gene
expression involving nuclear receptor TLX. Let-7b, a member of the let-7 microRNA family, is …

Neurogenesis persists in the adult brain and can be regulated by a plethora of external
stimuli, such as learning, memory, exercise, environment and stress. Although newly …

Abstract miR-137 is a brain-enriched microRNA. Its role in neural development remains
unknown. Here we show that miR-137 has an essential role in controlling embryonic neural …

Aggressive behavior is observed in many animal species, such as insects, fish, lizards,
frogs, and most mammals including humans. This wide range of conservation underscores …
