... interneuron populations (dI1-dI6), three ventral interneuron populations (V0-V3) and a large number of motor neurons ( Helms and Johnson, 2003 ; Lai et al., 2016 ). The interneuron populations can reach ipsilateral or contralateral targets; these last neurons are known as commissural neurons. Their axons...

... maintained the stability of axonal Robo1 during Slit stimulation. We identified Arf6 guanosine triphosphatase and its activators, cytohesins, as previously unknown components in Slit-Robo1 signalling in vertebrate commissural neurons. Slit-Robo1 signalling activated Arf6. The Arf6 -deficient mice exhibited...

.... We propose, that netrin 1 distribution sculpts the CNS boundary by keeping CNS neurons in netrin 1-rich domains. Boundary cap (BC) cells might prevent commissural neuron from escaping the CNS as they do for motor neurons. To visualize BC cells in control and Ntn1 mutant embryos, we performed...

... the growth and guidance of dorsally located commissural neurons toward the ventral floor plate ( Serafini et al., 1996 ). However, although many commissural axons misproject to the ventricular zone and the motor columns in Ntn1 hypomorphs, a subset of axons still orient toward and reach the floor plate...

...Yasuyuki Inamata; Ryuichi Shirasaki Axon guidance by commissural neurons has been well documented, providing us with a molecular logic of how midline crossing is achieved during development. Despite these advances, knowledge of the intrinsic genetic programs is still limited and it remains obscure...

... that have suggested that morphogens direct axon guidance decisions using non-canonical signal transduction factors, our results indicate that canonical components of the BMP signalling pathway, the type I BMP receptors (BMPRs), are both necessary and sufficient to specify the fate of commissural neurons...

..., the dorsal root ganglia appeared reduced in size and shifted in position in embryos receiving grafts. Another dorsal cell type, commissural neurons, identified by CRABP and neurofilament immunoreactivity, differentiated in the vicinity of the ectopic notochord. Numerous neuronal cell bodies and axonal...
