In this study, we developed an aligned chitosan polycaprolactone (chitosan PCL) fibrous scaffold and investigated how the fiber alignment influenced nerve cell organization and function in comparison with randomly oriented fibrous scaffolds and cast films of the same material.
Such a nerve net organization provides a good precondition for the evolution of more specific sensor arrays most notably related to touch dispersed across the animal body.
As the importance of such transverse connections is well-established in neuroscience, one of the assets of the skin brain proposal is its focus on the evolution of a transverse nerve net organization spread out across the animal body.
Removal of membrane sterols by treatment with MβCD affects ORN axon growth and fasciculation in the sorting zone region of the antennal nerve, affects the organization and distribution of glomeruli, and allows axon terminal branches to extend beyond their glomerular territory, at least in a subset of ORN axons.
Tyr423His Myoc mice demonstrate progressive degenerative changes in the peripheral RGC layer and optic nerve, with normal organization of aqueous drainage structures [ 101].
Indeed, it has previously been shown that in the process of nerve regeneration, the organization of Schwann cells into columns (bands of Büngner) is of critical importance to guide and support axonal regeneration from the proximal to the distal end of the injury (48).
On Wednesday, Mr. Whitacre sought to calm some nerves in the organization with a speech on the company's internal video network.
ASD alter the connection and organization of nerve cells and their synapses in the brain.
Targeting illicit trafficking, terrorist training bases and bolstering the security of economic infrastructure in the region would undermine al Qaeda's critical capability to destabilize the region but, more importantly, it would strike at the terrorist organization's nerve center -- the ability to finance its ideology.
Other key structural features that could affect nerve function include the organization of the nodal, paranodal, and juxtaparanodal domains, but these were unaffected in the mutant.
