Smooth Muscle-Specific Removal of Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor Results in Increased Vagal Afferent Innervation to the Intestine and Increased Satiation in Mice
<p>Vagal afferents transmit signals regarding food-derived stimuli in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract to the brain. Vagal mechanoreceptors called intraganglionic laminar endings (IGLEs) innervate the smooth muscle wall of GI organs and detect stretch and tension to regulate GI reflexes and …

Synapse Formation in the Zebrafish Lateral Line
… anteriorly and posteriorly polarized cells. Afferent neurons form synapses with hair cells of only one subpopulation, and this polarity-specific innervation arises independently of synaptic activity. The research presented in my thesis deepens the understanding of synapse formation in the …

Regulation of Cerebellar Purkinje Cell Development: Interactions Between Trophic Factors and Neurotransmitters
… of development, in which trophic factors and afferent stimulation interact. To begin to investigate potential mechanisms by which excitatory signals and NGF interact in the regulation of Purkinje cell development I studied regulation of NGF receptor expression by excitatory influences in …
