Recollections on the Origins and Development of the Prosomeric Model
Published in Frontiers in Neuroanatomy
The prosomeric model was postulated jointly by L. Puelles and J. L. R. Rubenstein in 1993 and has been developed since by means of minor changes and a major update in 2012. This article explains the progressive academic and scientific antecedents leading LP to this collaboration and its subsequent developments. Other antecedents due to earlier neur...
Axonal Projection Patterns of the Dorsal Interneuron Populations in the Embryonic Hindbrain
Published in Frontiers in Neuroanatomy
Unraveling the inner workings of neural circuits entails understanding the cellular origin and axonal pathfinding of various neuronal groups during development. In the embryonic hindbrain, different subtypes of dorsal interneurons (dINs) evolve along the dorsal-ventral (DV) axis of rhombomeres and are imperative for the assembly of central brainste...
What is the Degree of Segregation between Striatonigral and Striatopallidal Projections?
Published in Frontiers in Neuroanatomy
In contrast to most other brain regions, in the striatum the output neurons (the medium-sized spiny neurons, MSNs) are GABAergic and act by inhibiting their targets. The standard model of the basal ganglia is built on the segregation of information processing in the direct and indirect pathways, which act in opposing directions to control movement....
High-Throughput Strategy for Profiling Sequential Section With Multiplex Staining of Mouse Brain
Published in Frontiers in Neuroanatomy
The brain modulates specific functions in its various regions. Understanding the organization of different cells in the whole brain is crucial for investigating brain functions. Previous studies have focused on several regions and have had difficulty analyzing serial tissue samples. In this study, we introduced a pipeline to acquire anatomical and ...
A Whole-Brain Connectivity Map of VTA and SNc Glutamatergic and GABAergic Neurons in Mice
...Published in Frontiers in Neuroanatomy
The glutamatergic and GABAergic neurons in the ventral tegmental area (VTA) and substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc) mediated diverse brain functions. However, their whole-brain neural connectivity has not been comprehensively mapped. Here we used the virus tracers to characterize the whole-brain inputs and outputs of glutamatergic and GABAergic ne...
The Functional Anatomy of the Cornea and Anterior Chamber in Lampreys: Insights From the Pouched Lamprey, Geotria austra...
Published in Frontiers in Neuroanatomy
Extant lampreys (Petromyzontiformes) are one of two lineages of surviving jawless fishes or agnathans, and are therefore of critical importance to our understanding of vertebrate evolution. Anadromous lampreys undergo a protracted lifecycle, which includes metamorphosis from a larval ammocoete stage to an adult that moves between freshwater and sal...
Genoarchitectonic Compartmentalization of the Embryonic Telencephalon: Insights From the Domestic Cat
Published in Frontiers in Neuroanatomy
The telencephalon develops from the alar plate of the secondary prosencephalon and is subdivided into two distinct divisions, the pallium, which derives solely from prosomere hp1, and the subpallium which derives from both hp1 and hp2 prosomeres. In this first systematic analysis of the feline telencephalon genoarchitecture, we apply the prosomeric...
Recent Advances in the Understanding of Specific Efferent Pathways Emerging From the Cerebellum
Published in Frontiers in Neuroanatomy
The cerebellum has a long history in terms of research on its network structures and motor functions, yet our understanding of them has further advanced in recent years owing to technical developments, such as viral tracers, optogenetic and chemogenetic manipulation, and single cell gene expression analyses. Specifically, it is now widely accepted ...
