Transcriptional control of nuclei-specific thalamocortical neurons
A detailed understanding of the pool of guidance receptors that is express by distinct populations of […]
Integration of distinct signaling pathways in thalamocortical behavior
The sorting of thalamocortical axons seem to be a rather complicated mechanism in which attractive, repulsive and growth control signaling cues are involved. But, how are the distinct signaling pathways integrated by thalamocortical neurons to drive a unique behavioral response? […]
Activity-dependent mechanisms involved in thalamocortical guidance and wiring
Axons require multiple cues to be guided to their targets, and many molecules that are involved in these guidance events have been identified. A general consensus has emerged that such molecular mechanisms are most commonly used for pathfinding to the target area and […]
Neuroplasticity following sensory deprivation
The functional architecture of the brain is strongly influenced by any sensory inputs that are received. […]
