Embryo T3 Flashcards
(141 cards)
What mutant has specific behavioral defects related to the cerebellum?
Due to what abnormal cell?
Formation of what abnormal
Weaver
Radial glial cells in cerebellum
Formation of granular layer of the cerebellar cortex
What is characterized by abnormal behavior and absence of normal cortical layering?
What is defective?
What does this do?
Reeler
Reelin: extracellular protein defective
Reelin: may serve as a stop signal for radial neuronal migration or as an insertional signal for migrating neurons
A closure defect in spinal cord
Rachischisis
Spinal cord and meninges remain in place but bony covering is incomplete
Spine bifida occulata
Dura mater may be missing in the area of the defect and the arachnid layer bulge prominently beneath the skin. Spinal cord remains in place
Meningocele
Spinal cord bulges or is entirely displaced into the protruding subarachnoid space
Myelomeningocele
Major derivatives of diencephalon?
Epithalamus
Thalamus
Hypothalamus
Rostral patterning center?
FGF-8
What may serve as a stop signal for radial neuronal migration or as an insertional signal for migrating neurons
Reelin
Dorsal patterning center?
BMPs and Wnts
Ventral patterning center
Shh
What is the major topographical change in the myelencpehalon?
Pronounced expansion of the roof plate to form the thin roof overlying the fourth ventricle
Express of what genes is responsible for differentiation of nuclei in myelencephalon?
Hox genes
Neural crest cells are from what?
Neural plate
While in the neural tube neural crest cells are?
Epithelial
What factors are involved in breaking free of the neural tube?
Snail-1, Snail-2, and Foxd3
Neural crest cells form many components of the nervous system but do not form what?
Motor neurons
Neural crest cells from trunk transplanted into head form most neural crest derivates except
-What also differentiates
Cartilage or skeletal elements (even though normally do)
Some cells differentiate into cholinergic parasym instead of adrenal sympathetic normally produced
Pathway of cells in circumpharyngeal ridge
Migrate ventrally and then cranially to provide pathway for XII and related musculature
Most neural crest cells from somites 1-3
Pass into pharyngeal arches 4 and 6 or form cardiac crest
Neural crest cells from somites R4-R7
Make up vagal crest
Form parasympathetic innervation for digestive tract
Vagal neural crest
- Associated with
- Para or Sym
- Factor
Gut enteric system
Parasympathetic
Mash-1
What maintains the competence of neural cells to differentiate into autonomic neuron?
Mash-1
What is involved in various pigment defects (white strip), deafness, cleft palate, ocular hypertelorism
- What crest(s)
- Mutation
Waardenburgs syndrome
Trunk and cranial
Pax3 mutations
