Using a stereological method, the optical disector, we examined three inbred strains of mice (NZB/BINJ, DBA/2, and C57BL/6J) for morphological differences in volume, neuronal number, and density of the pyramidal cell and dentate gyrus granule cell layers of the hippocampus. We found significant diff

Loss of neurons has been considered to be a prime cause of nervous disturbances that occur with advancing age. However, the notion of a constitutive aging-related loss of neurons has been challenged recently in several studies that used up-to-date methods for counting neurons. In this study, we have
Fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) are known to be synthesized in the central nervous system (CNS) and to act on CNS cells in vitro, but less is known about their synthesis, expression, and role in vivo. In this work, using specific anti-acidic fibroblast growth factor (aFGF) antibodies, we have shown
Evaluation of glial cell migration following transplantation can be difficult as the force of the injection itself may cause the cells to become immediately dispersed. In this study we evaluated the extent of spread of cells after injection of 1 ~1 of a dissociated cell suspension (50,000 celldpl) i
