1 Induce membrane contact 2 Recognition of synaptic partner 3 Induce release of vesicle 4 Depolarize post synaptic cell 5 Recruit PSD scaffold proteins 6 Aggregate PSD receptors 7 Aggregate pre synaptic vesicles
28
Synaptic specificity is generated by
the synaptic guidepost protein SYG2 and its receptor SYG1
29
Why does the nervous system need glial cells
speed, saltatory conduction, nodes of Ranveer
30
microglia deffectency disseases
Retts syndrome
31
Oligodendrocytes mylonate the
CNS
32
Node is filled with
specific protiens Na chnnels important for AP Para node - cells interact with membrane (axon) itself - connecting two processes also juxtaparanode
33
Oligodenrocyltes precurosr cell makes
olig progen cell differentate into immature/premylanting olig
34
mylanating olig procues
mylen sheath that wraps around the acon
35
Nodes of Ranvere
area between two mylen sheaths
36
motor learning required
olig
37
MYRF
produce new mylen genetic mutant only prevents new mylen - impared learning
38
how many mylen sheaths can one olig porduce
more than one for olig only one for schawan cell
39
Negitives of mylenation and learning
continuously mynlating, cannot modulate neuons, take up unessary space
40
If Olig help in learning they cannot be
fully set/compleetly mylenating (but mylen is esablshed at birth)
41
demylenation
not likely energy demand is too high
42
How get olig so specificaly organize on axon
signalling attractuve repulsice (self avoidance) Activity - responds to- and modulates
43
MS is a __ disease
demylnating disease of the CNS
44
Potental therapies on how to produce mylen sheaths
1. take existing olig and express more mylen seaths - not likely - only a few hours to do in vivo 2. make new olig, more likely
45
Olig. Reside in the
CNS
46
Olig Precursor directly make
Olig progen cell
47
Olig organize in the nervous system with
proliforation, directonal migration, contat mediated repulsion
48
SYG-1 functions in
neurons (SYG-2 is in vulval epiphelial cells)
49
Functions of olig
main mylenating cell in the CNS behavior, speed, provides nutrients
50
generation of mylen seeth
Presursor (self renew) Progen (self renew) pre mylenating olig mylenating olig - makes mylen seeths
51
Can you have non-myelinating Olig?
No, can only have pre mylenating
52
PNM domain produces
Olig and motor neurons (mainly)
53
SHH gradient sets up
domains in the spinal cord
54
DBX domain
produces olig
55
how do olig set up in spinal cord
olig grow in DBX domain PNM domain expresses olig 2 (#1 FT in olig., factors help drive defenteration, then drive migration)
56
olig migrade as
progenetors, contact neurons, upregulate mylen producing pathways
57
Neural devolopment waves
1. Neurons 2. Astrocytes (new litature says may be first) 3. Olig 4. Later populations of neurons (ex. IN)
58
MBP
myelin basic protein
59
NG2
imature
60
Olig "wars" dbx1
is higher up - also produce olig.
61
gleogenisis
produce glial (not neurogenisis)
62
motor neuron devolopment and olig arise from
distinct cell linages by progenetor recrutment MN stays in PNM domain but moves outward (in PNM - olig 1 and olig 2 - PNM progen - motor neuron than olig but mainly motor) olig decend from DBX domain (dorsal to ventral) and initates olig 2 expression, blocked by SHH (also blocking olig formation) MN causes switch from SHH recurutment to PNM
63
Scientist in Olig. Differentation (change by MN for olig to switch from SHH to PNM recruitment)
Bruce Apple trained many women in the field including Sarah K
64
Mozech animal
have two animal cells and lable one and put that cell into the animal to track those cells
65
Old vs New model in olig formation
Old model -> precursor common cell -> MN & Olig New model -> Precursor 1 -> MN Precursor 2 -> Olig
66
Fait mapping
with photoconversion express protine in PNM pro than change green to red (early on all green - not come from cell that express olig 2, olig 2 negative than become more ventral then become olig 2 positive)
67
Olig are directly produced in the spinal cord from
PNM domain
68
Olig and MN come from
Distinct progentors
69
olig are directly produced from
olig progen cells
70
SHH is a
videogame charator, also required in neurogenisis
71
Schwan cell is the
mylenating cell of the PNS
72
Schwan cell can be
mylenating (mature) and non mylenating (mature)
73
Production and wraping of mylen sheeths
Schw pre produce -> Schw pro -> Pre mylenating Schw -> going to mylen mylen seeths warp around -> gap between two sheeths, inner toung is wraped last
74
Why study neural crest
occour later in devolopment from differnt germ layers
75
Schw cells are produced from
neural crest cells
76
Steps of how neural crest cells migrate
1. move ventraly via ligands 2. cell surface on axion "binds" 3. moves along axon via triggering TFs
77
Neural crest cells pre/pro gen vs once arive at axon
pre/pro gen -> pluripotant at axon -> mylenation (main role, saltatory conductance)
78
Olig vs Schw
Olig - multiple mylen on multiple axons, orgin CNS, larger nucleous not "on" axion Schw - one mylen on one axon, orgin PNS/Neural crest, can be non mylenating
79
How do Schw wrap around itself
80
Critical period
morphology no longer changes
81
Reconition of axion
mylenation is specific both pos and neg cues
82
two main signals that tell to mylenate
axion calliber - size of axion (diameter) and activity
83
two hyposises for size of axon and mylnation
1. molecular cues reading sixe 2. symple physics/size promotes more rings determined by wraping around something that isnt an axion (nanofiber) which also shows size dtermining mylenation ammount (proving theroy #2) however there are cues in addition to axon caliber
84
activity and mylenation
not all or nothing but is am "I" more active than neghbors (if more than normal but has a very active neghbor= both have same mylenation) activity is also important in length of mylen seeth not just number of seeths
85
paranodal bridges
make new seeths
86
Schwann cells reside in
PNS sensory and motor systems Autonomic Sympathetic
87
Nueral crest cells do not produce
Olig. (do produce pigment cells, sensory neurons, schwann cells)
88
Olig are distinct from schwann because they
can wrap multiple axions
89
__ have been shown to control mylenation
activity and acon calilber
90
Wraping of sheeths is ___ in nature
quantanary as time goes on - steps down in brigness sugesting iddle is where leading edge is
91
liquid croissant model of mylenation
"triangular pice" wraps than folds/flattens out.
92
New layer of mylen is awlays
closest to the axion
93
inner tough ____ pushing foward
action dinamics, cytoskelition re arrangments (in inner toung)
94
___ facilates compaction
MBP
95
"attach to axion"
ends of mylen loops in para node and juxtaparanode
96
highly structured node
Nav1 (Na channel) -within node Casor (involved in adhesion) - attractions mylen loops Kv1 (K channel) - juxtaparanode
97
most mylenation is not
till birth
98
mylen is plastic via
making new sheets repacing old with new changing thickness inc. length inc. closeness
99
Chaecot-Marie-Tooth dieases
in PNS starts with most distal musles caused by two types of disfunctions - demylantion and acional degrdation
100
gpr 126 drives
differnatino of promylenating shwann cells by inc cAMP - triggerning oct6 expression (and krox 20) and mylenation
101
gpr 126 is req for mbp in
PNS only
