An Ludwig - Maximilians - Universitaet (LMU) in Munich study reveals that sound - evoked activity of neurons in the auditory system of the mouse increases the thickness of their myelin sheaths — and enhances the speed of signal transmission — both during development and in the adult brain.
Working with an animal model, the researchers found that a type of cell present in the brain's primary processing area during early development, long thought to form structural scaffolding with no role in transmitting sensory information, may conduct such signals after all.
«Molecular time signalling controls stem cells during brain's development.»
In the new study, the researchers discovered that during the second trimester of human brain development, oRG cells express genes related to a fundamental signaling pathway called mTOR, defects in which have previously been implicated in autism and several other psychiatric disorders.
Yi J.J., Barnes A.P., Hand R., Polleux F. and Ehlers M.D. (2010) TGFβ signaling specifies axons during brain development.
In the Lu laboratory, we aim to elucidate the signaling cascades that establish neural circuit connections during brain development, to understand how sensory experiences and environmental factors affect neural circuit wiring and cognitive behaviors, and to identify novel factors required to maintain the health of neural circuits during aging.
Her research focuses on the signaling cascades underlying neural circuit connections during brain development, to understand how sensory experiences affect neural circuit wiring, and to identify novel factors required to maintain the health of neural circuits during aging.
