Genetic studies in mice have begun to unravel the molecular mechanisms of somatotopic face map formation in the brainstem. Accumulating evidence indicates that molecular regionalization and positional ...
Research published in Cell Reports from the University of Alabama at Birmingham reveals that, by labeling a subset of trigeminal afferents with the genetic marker Fos-Cre and inhibiting them, ...
The origin of sensory ganglia in the developing peripheral nervous system can be traced to two transient embryonic cell populations: the neural crest and ectodermal placodes 1. Both cell types ...
