Q

Differentiation in development

A

the neuron gains unique characteristics for its futurerole

Increasesin size

Producesterminal dendrites

Makesspecific connections *NEURAL CIRCUITS ARE FORMED! Whichis the beginning of the emergence of behavior!

Q

Environment and the dynamic process of differentiation

A

These factors recruitsecond messengersacting within the neurons to influence the specifics of neurondevelopment, circuits and functioning.

Q

Critical periods in the NS

A

Times when axons are competing for synaptic sites. Normal function of neural systems are dependent on appropriate experience during the critical periods

Cell movement is often a signal for what

A

differentiation - when neurons are getting their characteristics

Results in cells moving topositions important fortheir differentiation

26

29
Q

Mantle layer of the tube

A

grey matter; neurons locateonce born (cortical plate in forebrain dev)

42
Q

CFS is made and stored where

A

made in the ventricles and stored in the subarchnoid space

43
Q

if there is a build up of CFS (blocked, over made, or under drained) the result is what

A

is hydrocephalus

44
Q

what is hydrocephalus often associated with

A

spinabifida

45
Q

Over production of CSF by what cells

A

46
Q

Cortical region movement of cells

A

“inside-out” pattern of development

first cells to move locate in deepest layers of thecortex

47
Q

Disorder of cytogenesis

A

didn’t make enough cells’ = microencephaly, small brain

48
Q

Disorder of neuron migration

A

‘didn’t, couldn’t, or wouldn’t moveenough’ =lissencephaly, smooth brain

49
Q

what is Axon guidance

A

orderly consequence of local or long-distance interactions that instruct the developing axon to grow, turn, or stop.

50
Q

extracellular matrix adhesion axon guidance

A

local
at some point in development ECM allows spinal tissue to move through It before that is does not allow this movement

51
Q

cell surface adhesion axon guidance

A

local
some type of tissue that leads the axon in the right direction

step by step

52
Q

fasciculation axon travel

A

pioneer
local
growing axon encounters another axon from a ‘pioneer’ neuron (previously traveled to same target) and follows alongside of it

53
Q

chemoattraction axon travel

A

long distance
concentration gradient of a tropic factor

54
Q

contact inhibition axon guidance

A

local
repulse growth cones

55
Q
