Sentences with phrase «ventral nerve cord»

A translational fusion of Punc - 7S in the GFP expression vector pPD95.67 (provided by A Fire) was injected at a concentration of 50 ng / μl and found to express in various head neurons but not in ventral nerve cord motor neurons.

Bottom: Magnification of ventral nerve cord of Chengjiangocaris kunmingensis.

Right: posterior ventral nerve cord in rescued L3 animal (anterior left).

(A) Section of ventral nerve cord (vnc) in a wild - type (N2) animal transformed with UNC - 9:: GFP.

Further analysis revealed that some aspects of the nervous system in C. kunmingensis appear to be structured similar to that of modern priapulids (penis worms) and onychophorans (velvet worms), with regularly - spaced nerves coming out from the ventral nerve cord.

Those axons branch out from the ventral nerve cord, which runs the length of the bee's abdomen — further evidence, they say, that the magnetic properties of those cells influence the nervous system.

We are studying the TGF - beta (DBL - 1) pathway, a molecule which is secreted by the worm's ventral nerve cord and appears to act rather like growth hormone.

Stained for Futsch (green, segmented sensory neurons and dispersed cell bodies in the ventral nerve cord) and Ank2 - L (magenta, segmented ventral nerve cord and a subset of sensory neurons).

Low levels of GFP expression were also observed in a number of cells in the brain and the ventral nerve cord (VNC)(Fig 2F and 2G), in which no CCHa2 - R expression was detected by FISH, probably due to its lower sensitivity.

Vnc, ventral nerve cord; mvlm, median ventral longitudinal muscle (axochord).

Abbreviations: ca, canal - associated process; dnc, dorsal nerve cord; dsl, dorsal sublateral process; nr, nerve ring; ph, pharyngeal nervous system; rvg, retro - vesicular ganglion; ts, tail spike; vnc, ventral nerve cord; vsl, ventral sublateral process.

At this stage animals are large enough such that the cell bodies of motor neurons in the ventral nerve cord are well spaced, making it less ambiguous in deciding if presumptive gap junction puncta are associated with a particular motor neuron.

(J) UNC - 9:: GFP expressed in AVB (Punc - 7S:: unc - 9:: gfp) in unc - 7 (e5) animals fails to localize near B motor neuron cell bodies and is diffusely distributed along the ventral nerve cord.

(A) In wild - type (wt; N2), UNC - 9:: GFP expressed in B motor neurons (Pacr - 5:: unc - 9:: gfp) visualizes puncta in the ventral nerve cord localized near B cell bodies.

Some of these puncta could potentially be associated with B motor neuron cell bodies — they appeared to be offset from other puncta expressed along the ventral nerve cord — but the intensity of their signal did not stand out compared to other puncta.

Possibly in the respective mutant backgrounds homomeric channels may form but are not recognizable by our methods because they do not particularly stand out as brighter puncta offset from the ventral nerve cord near B cell bodies.

As expected, this construct (minus F56B12) rescued forward but not backward locomotion, and UNC - 7S was strongly expressed as puncta in the nerve ring and ventral nerve cord, but not the dorsal nerve cord (consistent with lack of DA and DB motor neuron expression).

UNC - 9:: GFP was widely expressed in the ventral nerve cord as puncta, but UNC - 7L was principally associated with cell bodies, and no co-localization was observed (Figure 10E).
