The spinal cord receives, relays and processes sensory information from the periphery and
integrates this information with descending inputs from supraspinal centres to elicit precise …

Introduction Congenital hypothyroidism (CH) is the most frequent neonatal endocrine
disorder and one of the most common preventable forms of mental retardation worldwide …

Mirror movements (MM) disorder is characterized by involuntary movements on one side of
the body that mirror intentional movements on the opposite side. We performed genetic …

Traumatic spinal cord injuries interrupt the connection of all axonal projections with their
neuronal targets below and above the lesion site. This interruption results in either …

Abstract Development of the central nervous system (CNS) is a complex, dynamic process
that involves a precisely orchestrated sequence of genetic, environmental, biochemical, and …

Netrin-1 was initially discovered as a neuronal growth cue for axonal guidance, and its
functions have later been identified in inflammation, tumorigenesis, neurodegeneration, and …

In mammals, excitatory cortical neurons develop from the proliferative epithelium and
progenitor cells in the ventricular zone and subventricular zone, and migrate radially to the …

The deleted in colorectal cancer (DCC) gene encodes the netrin‐1 (NTN1) receptor DCC, a
transmembrane protein required for the guidance of commissural axons. Germline DCC …

Congenital hypothyroidism (CH) is the most common neonatal endocrine disorder and one
of the most common preventable causes of intellectual disability in the world. CH may be …

During neuronal development, the formation of neural circuits requires develo** axons to
traverse a diverse cellular and molecular environment to establish synaptic contacts with the …
