Exam 1: Chapter 3 Flashcards
Neurogenesis in vertebrate starts in
neural tube
Interkinetic Nuclear Migration
Some slides during cell phase
M/G towards ventricular zone, S phase towards outside
G1
control mechanism for S phase or no S phase
Multipotent cells
progenitor can make many things
1 progenitor
5 neurons
30 glia
3H thymidine birth dating
weak signal over time, replace with BrDU
autoradiography
pyramidal>granuale
cortex inside out
old > new
What tell us what cells we want
growth factors
Invariant time table
motor neurons develop at same time period
Division trends
inside out large (inner) > small (outer) Old > new pyramidal/pukinje > granule Layer 6 > Layer 1
Q fraction
quite cell cycle, what fraction leaves cell cycle, goes up as we go along
Expansion phase
low Q fraction
Neurogenic phase
high Q fraction
Why does overall length of cell cycle increase
Lengthen G1 due to growth factor # progeny generated by v zone is lowered
___ controls proliferation
cyclins, which are intrinsic
control if cell responds to extrinsic
When cyclin pairs with cdk (kinase)
phosphorylates Rb
Rb mutation
uncontrolled proliferation of retinal cells
E2F
transcription factor
Cell cycle is inhibited by proteins
p27kip/p21
cdkIs
Stop signal for cell cycle
TGF-beta
lower Q fraction
thick cortex, lower cdkIs
higher Q fraction
thin cortex, high cdkIs
Forebrain develops from
prosomeres
Dorsoventral patterning in neural tube
shh, BMP, wnt
Cerebral cortex patterns
Emx, Pax, FGF
