The pallial basal ganglia pathway modulates the behaviorally driven gene expression of the motor pathway.
(Eur J Neurosci, 2007-04)
The discrete neural network for songbird vocal communication provides an effective
system to study neural mechanisms of learned motor behaviors in vertebrates. This
system consists of two pathways--a vocal motor pathway ...
Gene expression signatures of radiation response are specific, durable and accurate in mice and humans.
(PLoS One, 2008-04-02)
BACKGROUND: Previous work has demonstrated the potential for peripheral blood (PB)
gene expression profiling for the detection of disease or environmental exposures.
METHODS AND FINDINGS: We have sought to determine the ...
The DLK-1 kinase promotes mRNA stability and local translation in C. elegans synapses and axon regeneration.
(Cell, 2009-09-04)
Growth cone guidance and synaptic plasticity involve dynamic local changes in proteins
at axons and dendrites. The Dual-Leucine zipper Kinase MAPKKK (DLK) has been previously
implicated in synaptogenesis and axon outgrowth ...
FoxP2 expression in avian vocal learners and non-learners.
(J Neurosci, 2004-03-31)
Most vertebrates communicate acoustically, but few, among them humans, dolphins and
whales, bats, and three orders of birds, learn this trait. FOXP2 is the first gene
linked to human speech and has been the target of positive ...
Enhanced rewarding properties of morphine, but not cocaine, in beta(arrestin)-2 knock-out mice.
(J Neurosci, 2003-11-12)
The reinforcing and psychomotor effects of morphine involve opiate stimulation of
the dopaminergic system via activation of mu-opioid receptors (muOR). Both mu-opioid
and dopamine receptors are members of the G-protein-coupled ...
Differential mechanisms of morphine antinociceptive tolerance revealed in (beta)arrestin-2 knock-out mice.
(J Neurosci, 2002-12-01)
Morphine induces antinociception by activating mu opioid receptors (muORs) in spinal
and supraspinal regions of the CNS. (Beta)arrestin-2 (beta)arr2), a G-protein-coupled
receptor-regulating protein, regulates the muOR in ...
Signal transformations from cerebral cortex to superior colliculus for the generation of saccades.
(Vision Res, 2001)
The ability of primates to make rapid and accurate saccadic eye movements for exploring
the natural world is based on a neuronal system in the brain that has been studied
extensively and is known to include multiple brain ...
Eye fields in the frontal lobes of primates.
(Brain Res Brain Res Rev, 2000-04)
Two eye fields have been identified in the frontal lobes of primates: one is situated
dorsomedially within the frontal cortex and will be referred to as the eye field within
the dorsomedial frontal cortex (DMFC); the other ...
Influence of the thalamus on spatial visual processing in frontal cortex.
(Nature, 2006-11-16)
Each of our movements activates our own sensory receptors, and therefore keeping track
of self-movement is a necessary part of analysing sensory input. One way in which
the brain keeps track of self-movement is by monitoring ...
Visual perception and corollary discharge.
(Perception, 2008)
Perception depends not only on sensory input but also on the state of the brain receiving
that input. A classic example is perception of a stable visual world in spite of the
saccadic eye movements that shift the images ...
