  2. 1. Spinal Control of Locomotion : Developmental and Functional Aspects

    Author : Nadine Rabe; Klas Kullander; Artur Kania; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; neuronal network; commissural interneuron; developmental interneuron subtypes; V3; mouse genetics; Pitx2; axon guidance; netrin-1; DCC; EphA4; Neuroscience; Neurovetenskap; Neuroscience; Neurovetenskap; Medicinsk utvecklings- och neurobiologi; Developmental Neurosciences; Molekylär genetik; Molecular Genetics;

    Abstract : Neuronal networks are the central functional units of the nervous system. Knowledge about the identity of participating neurons and the assembly of these during development is crucial for the understanding of CNS function. READ MORE

  4. 2. Neuronal Networks of Movement : Slc10a4 as a Modulator & Dmrt3 as a Gait-keeper

    Author : Martin Larhammar; Klas Kullander; Leif Andersson; Åsa Wallén-Mackenzie; Robert Fyffe; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Synaptic vesicle transporter; Neuromodulation; Dopamine; Central Pattern Generator; Locomotion; Gait; Horse; Mouse; Commissural Inhibitory Interneuron; Neuroscience; Neurovetenskap;

    Abstract : Nerve cells are organized into complex networks that comprise the building blocks of our nervous system. Neurons communicate by transmitting messenger molecules released from synaptic vesicles. Alterations in neuronal circuitry and synaptic signaling contribute to a wide range of neurological conditions, often with consequences for movement. READ MORE

  5. 3. Interneuron diversity and function in the zebrafish locomotor circuits

    Author : Eva Rebecka Björnfors; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : One of the most essential features of an animal’s behavior is the ability to navigate and interact with its environment. The generation of the locomotor rhythm is carried out by networks of neurons in the spinal cord, so called central pattern generators (CPGs). READ MORE

  6. 4. EPHA4 and V2 interneurons in the mammalian locomotor network

    Author : Line Lundfald; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Central pattern generators (CPGs) are neural networks that can execute halfautomated movements without supraspinal or sensory input. Hindlimb locomotion in mammals is dependent upon such a CPG which is located ventrally in the spinal cord lumbar enlargement. READ MORE

  7. 5. Swimming with the current : Fictive locomotion reveals subtle phenotypes in the zebrafish locomotor network

    Author : Harmen Kornelis Koning; Henrik Boije; David McLean; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; dmrt3a; wt1a; spinal cord; Mauthner cell; neural development; locomotor network; zebrafish;

    Abstract : Neural networks are the functional building blocks of the central nervous system. To better understand how these networks develop and operate, we turned to the zebrafish locomotor network, with a focus on subtypes of interneurons expressing dmrt3a and wt1a. READ MORE
