1 Reading NEUROSCIENCE: 5 th ed, pp NEUROSCIENCE: 4 th ed, pp Bio 3411 Wednesday 2 Summary from Lecture II Biology Understanding the brain is THE major question in biology and science. Is it possible for the brain to understand itself? The brain like any organ has functions: input, output, thought, communication. Brain Diseases Interfere with brain functions as heart disease interferes with the circulation. Many diseases have a strong genetic component. Prevalence is high: 15-30% of the population. Cost is high: >> $2+ Trillion/year in care, lost income, social services, etc., in the US. Impact (personal, family, societal) is persistent, pervasive, enormous, incalculable. 3 4 Issues for thought Neurons (=nerve cells) 100 Billion [the number of stars in our galaxy the Milky Way!!] Synapses (=clasp) 1/1,000,000 th of all stars & planets in the universe/person [less than the total of human synapses of people living in the St.L area!!] vs Genes 50% of 20,000-25,000 genes in the human genome are expressed only in Brain [70% of the balance are also expressed in the nervous system; the total is 85% of the genome] Developmental Neurobiology Major scientific challenge. To understand the normal construction and operation of the embryonic (and adult) nervous system. To understand human neuronal diseases, and possible ways to repair and renew the nervous system. To understand neuronal plasticity, and learning and memory. To understand the evolutionary diversification of nervous systems
2 Major Questions 1. Origins: Where do neurons come from? 2. Identity: How does a cell become a neuron? Development proceeds by progressive developmental restrictions pluripotent, stem cell 3. Specificity: How does a neuron make the right connections? 4. Plasticity: Does experience modulate the above? differentiated 7 8 Developmental Restrictions may be: 1) Genetic (programmed by genes) or 2) Epigenetic (determined by environment) pluripotent, stem cell EGG Proliferate Constructing a Nervous System Sort genetic Shape Specify BRAIN environmental differentiated Axons & Synapses Cell Death & Life Experiences 9 10 Egg Blastula Germ bands and cell types. Body axes. Folding, involutions and morphogenic movements. Origin, migration and differentiation of neurons. Vertebrate (Frog) An oocyte contains positional information (cytoplasmic determinants) contributed maternally. Some maternal RNAs are not uniformly distributed throughout the egg. The first informational axis is intrinsic to oocyte!
3 Fertilization triggers an influx of calcium, that sweeps across the egg. This causes rapid release of cortical granules to form the fertilization envelope, blocking polyspermy. The point of entry of the sperm determines a second positional axis, ventral (entry point) and dorsal (opposite to entry point). Sperm entry point Sperm entry point Cortical granules Ca +2 Cortical Rotation mixes cytoplasmic determinants and creates the dorsal-ventral axis.

The earliest born neurons are found closest to the ventricular surface (thymidine pulse-chase labeling of dividing cells). (Rakic, 1974) (Cepko and Sanes Labs, 1991) (Nadarajah, et al., 2002) (Nector, et al., 2001) The amount of yolk determines the symmetry of early cleavages and the shape of the blastula 1. Isolecithal eggs (protochordates, mammals): 2. Mesolecithal eggs (amphibians): Mammalian eggs have no yolk, so early divisions resemble isolecithal eggs (protochordate-like). However, later stages resemble the blastodisc of telolecithal eggs (reptile/bird/fish-like) (epiboly) 3. Telolecithal eggs (reptiles, birds, fish): a) Blastula flattens into the inner cell mass. b) Endodermal cells form the trophoblast and placental structures. (blastodisc)
7 What this Lecture was About 1. Three germbands (layers), ectoderm (skin and neurons), mesoderm (muscle, blood and internal organs) and endoderm (lining of the gut). 2. Development proceeds from pleuripotency (stem cells) to the differentiated state (adult neuron). 3. Neuronal induction requires specific contact between groups of cells; embryonic morphogenesis allows this to occur. 4. Positional information is created early by asymmetric distribution of molecules. These form axes (/Veg, D/V, Ant/Post) that guide the movement of embryonic cells. What this Lecture was About (cont): 5. Guideposts: a) Fertilization/Cortical Rotation. b) Blastula (hollow ball of cells). c) Gastrulation (inside-out involution of surface cells to the interior, through the blastopore). d) Neurulation (neural tube formation). e) Segmentation/Cephalization. f) Birth of neurons from the ventricular zone. Radial, then tangential migration to final destination Central Aspects of Embryogenesis 1. Oocyte possess maternal cytoplasmic determinants. 2. Fertilization triggers calcium influx, and creates dorsal-ventral axis by cortical rotation. 3. Cell divisions, synchronous at first, then asynchronous. 4. Blastula created. ( Hollow ball of cells) 6. Germ bands (ectoderm, mesoderm, endoderm) created by molecular signals along the /Vegetal axis. 5. Gastulation. (Involution of superficial cells through the blastopore). Embryogenesis (cont.): 7. Apposition of future mesoderm with neuroectoderm induces the neural plate. 8. Neurulation. (Lateral neural folds bend over the midline and fuse into the neural tube.) 9. Neural crest cells derived from leading edge of neural folds, migrate into somites to form the PNS. 10. Segmentation, anterior enlargement (cephalization), cortical development and spinal specification. 6. Anterior-posterior axis created by Spemann organizer END 7
