Its neuronal composition includes projection neurons, which connect the striatum with other structures, and interneurons, whose main roles are maintaining the striatal organization and the regulation of the projection neurons.
Traditionally, the neuronal composition of the striatum has been defined by mostly medium spiny neurons (MSN) and a small population of interneurons [74].
To investigate the possibility that Y2 receptors on NPY producing neurons influence body composition, Dox-induced NPYCre/+ Y2−/− mice were compared with age-matched saline-injected NPYCre/+ Y2lox/lox control mice and saline- or Dox-injected wild type mice.
Table2 shows that our algorithm gets a better performance in separating a neuron image of a composition of pointlike and curvelike structures.
In the stomatogastric nervous system of crabs, it was suggested that similar neuronal firing patterns could be obtained from neurons with different compositions of ion channels and that different network configurations could produce similar patterns of activity (Golowasch et al., 2002; Prinz et al., 2004).
Thus, there is an underlying assumption that the presence of fluorescent protein has no effect on the cellular or molecular composition of neurons in vivo.
In addition to the expression of Aβ40 receptors, differences in the plasma membrane lipid composition of neurons and BBB endothelial cells might be responsible for their differential internalization of Aβ40.
Endogenous VEGF, abundantly secreted by the ventricular neuroepithelium, regulates neural progenitor proliferation, migration, differentiation and the composition of neurons [ 96].
This neuroanatomical singularity suggests that these neurons can sense the composition of the cerebrospinal fluid and/or release their products within the ventricular system.
However, vacuolation is not a feature of heterotopia as they tend to show normal composition of neurons and neuropil without significant reactive astrocytic or microglial reaction [ 14, 15].
In hippocampal neurons, several subunit compositions have been reported for synaptic and extrasynaptic GABAA receptors: amongst synaptic receptors, the combination α1β2γ2 is found most frequently, whereas α1βδ, α4βδ and α5βγ-containing pentamers constitute extrasynaptic receptors (Farrant and Nusser, 2005; Olsen and Sieghart, 2009; Brickley and Mody, 2012).
