Neurophilic Descending Migration of Dorsal Midbrain Neurons Into the Hindbrain.

Frontiers in neuroanatomy | 2018

Stereotypic cell migrations in the developing brain are fundamental for the proper patterning of brain regions and formation of neural networks. In this work, we uncovered in the developing rat, a population of neurons expressing tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) that migrates posteriorly from the alar plate of the midbrain, in neurophilic interaction with axons of the mesencephalic nucleus of the trigeminal nerve. A fraction of this population was also shown to traverse the mid-hindbrain boundary, reaching the vicinity of the locus coeruleus (LC) in rhombomere 1 (r1). This migratory population, however, does not have a noradrenergic (NA) phenotype and, in keeping with its midbrain origin, expresses Otx2 which is down regulated upon migration into the hindbrain. The interaction with the trigeminal mesencephalic axons is necessary for the arrangement and distribution of migratory cells as these aspects are dramatically altered in whole embryo cultures upon disruption of trigeminal axon projection by interfering with DCC function. Moreover, in mouse embryos in an equivalent developmental stage, we detected a cell population that also migrates caudally within the midbrain apposed to mesencephalic trigeminal axons but that does not express TH; a fraction of this population expresses calbindin instead. Overall, our work identified TH-expressing neurons from the rat midbrain alar plate that migrate tangentially over long distances within the midbrain and into the hindbrain by means of a close interaction with trigeminal mesencephalic axons. A different migratory population in this region and also in mouse embryos revealed diversity among the cells that follow this descending migratory pathway.

Journal of Comparative Neurology Antibody database (tool)

RRID:SCR_006470

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on May 4th,2023. It was integrated with Antibody Registry. The JCN antibody database is a listing of all antibodies used in JCN papers from 2006 onward. The catalog numbers and vendor information is included for all antibodies listed, and with a new collaboration with NIF''''s AntibodyRegistry, a unique identifier is also listed for each antibody. The Journal of Comparative Neurology requires rigorous characterization for all antibodies that are used in JCN papers. The antibodies in the The Journal of Comparative Neurology antibody database have in nearly all cases been described and characterized adequately according to the provided guidelines. This information can be used to identify a particular target immunohistochemically or to design an experiment using the antibody information. If you are looking for an antibody to identify a particular target immunohistochemically, this list is a good place to begin your search. We suggest you then look up the paper in which the antibody was used, to make sure that it will meet your needs and to verify its characterization. (The characterization of antibodies in JCN papers often goes well beyond the material published by the manufacturer, so that examining this information before you order an antibody can be very useful.) While we do not guarantee that these antibodies will identify only the intended target (that is a function of the actual experiment and controls), this is the most carefully verified list of antibodies that we are aware of, and we wanted to share this resource with our readers and authors.
