The postnatal development of the cerebellum- a fMRI and silver study.
Journal Title: Cellular and Molecular Neurobiology - Year 2005, Vol 25, Issue 6
Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the postnatal development of the cerebella of the pig and to compare this with the activation of the fMRI. The cells in the cerebella were studied by silver technique and the activation of the fMRI in the cerebella was initiated by flexion and extension of the hind paw. Our results showed an increase of the branching of the cells of the cerebellar cortex postnatally, coordinated with registration of fMRI active sites in the cerebella at 6-month postnatal. We concluded that the full maturation of the cerebella was around 6-month postnatal in the pig.

Distribution of neuropeptide Y-immunoreactive neurons in the human brainstem, cerebellum, and cortex during development.
1. Neuropeptide Y is found throughout the central nervous system where it appears to play a wide range of often poorly understood functions. In this study, the distribution of neuropeptide Y immunoreactive (NPY-ir) neuro...
Changes of cytochemical markers in the conjunctival and corneal epithelium after corneal debridement.
1. The aim of this study was to determine the epithelial changes of the conjunctiva and cornea up to 7 days after corneal debridement and the changes highlighted included (1) proliferation, (2) production of growth facto...
Analysis of gene expression following sciatic nerve crush and spinal cord hemisection in the mouse by microarray expression profiling.
1. The responses of periphery (PNS) and central nervous systems (CNS) towards nerve injury are different: while injured mammalian periphery nerons can successfully undergo regeneration, axons in the central nervous syste...
Novel identification of the different types of cones in the retina of the chicken.
1. Although single cones and double cones in the chicken retina had been documented for more than 30 years, the exact morphology of these cells had never been studied by the scanning electronmicroscopy. In this brief rep...
A rabbit model of proliferative vitreoretinopathy induced by injection of astrocytic cultures.
1. The objective of this study was to decipher whether proliferation of astrocytes and invasion of astrocytic processes into the retina could contribute to retinal detachment in a rabbit model. 2. Cultures of astrocytes...
