To die or not to die, does it change the function? Behavior of transgenic mice reveals a role for developmental cell death
@article{RondiReig2002ToDO, title={To die or not to die, does it change the function? Behavior of transgenic mice reveals a role for developmental cell death}, author={L. Rondi-Reig and J. Mariani}, journal={Brain Research Bulletin}, year={2002}, volume={57}, pages={85-91} }
In humans, perturbations in the developmental neuronal death leading to an excess of neurons could be associated with developmental neuropsychiatric disorders. Hu-bcl-2 transgenic mice appear to be a valuable tool to study the functional role of developmental programmed cell death. Indeed, the over-expression of the anti-apoptotic gene bcl-2 decreases developmental neuronal death and Hu-bcl-2 mice present supernumerary neurons in several brain regions. A detailed behavioral analysis of these… CONTINUE READING
