It helps signals move faster around the neural network, and in two important areas of the brain, the frontal and temporal lobes, myelin levels increase with age, peaking on average around age 50 and in some people continuing to rise into their 60s.

Seeking additional insight into similar mechanisms at work in other centers of the brain, Donato and his team discovered that the signal to develop one area known to be involved in more abstract functions, including memory and navigation, originated from deep within the brain, in a specific population of neurons that kicks off the maturation of an entire neural network.

In the aging research, there are mixed findings on whether aging is associated with increased or decreased amplitude of neural activity, and looking into variability of the signal gives us a new type of information on how the aging brain works.»

We have recently shown that in avian embryos, muscle formation is initiated by Delta1 - positive neural crest cells migrating from the dorsal neural tube that, in passing, trigger NOTCH signalling and myogenesis in selected epithelial somite progenitor cells, allowing them to migrate into the nascent muscle to differentiate.

In chick embryos, skeletal muscle formation is initiated by migrating Delta1 - expressing neural crest cells that trigger NOTCH signaling and myogenesis in selected epithelial somite progenitor cells, which rapidly translocate into the nascent muscle to differentiate.
