Almost 30 years ago it was first appreciated that anti-apoptotic B-cell lymphoma-2 (BCL-2)
prevents the induction of apoptosis not only in malignant cells, but also in normal cellular …

Physiological cell death is a widespread phenomenon in the development of both
vertebrates and invertebrates. This review concentrates on an aspect of developmental cell …

The NEURONS OF the neocortex arise from a pseudostratified ventricular epithelium (WE)
that lines the ventricular cavity of the mammalian embryonic cerebral wallle3. In any given …

The programmed cell death (PCD) of developing cells is considered an essential adaptive
process that evolved to serve diverse roles. We review the putative adaptive functions of …

The disector method was used to estimate the numerical density of neurons (number per
unit volume) and their actual number per column (number under a given area of pial …

Neurons destined for each region of the neocortex are known to arise approximately in an
“inside-to-outside” sequence from a pseudostratified ventricular epithelium (PVE). This …

Neurons of neocortical layers II–VI in the dorsomedial cortex of the mouse arise in the
pseudostratified ventricular epithelium (PVE) through 11 cell cycles over the six embryonic …

The nervous system is evolutionarily conservative compared to the peripheral appendages
that it controls. However, species-specific behaviors may have arisen from very small …

Retinal projections and visual thalamo‐cortical connections were studied in the
subterranean mole rat, belonging to the superspecies Spalax ehrenbergi, by anterograde …

Early developmental manipulations can induce sensory afferents of one modality to project
to central targets of a different sensory modal@. We and other investigators have used such …
