Proliferative activity and characteristics of the structural-functional organization of the chromosomes in cells of the developing brain, related to the genetically determined excitability of the nervous system in rats
Abstract:This report describes the results of a comparative genetic analysis of the proliferation activity, level of chromosomal aberrations, and the state of interphase chromatin in nerve cells from the developing brains of rat embryos from lines with nervous systems of different excitation thresholds. A relationship between the basal level of nervous system excitability and these cytogenetic characteristics was found. Higher values were seen in embryos of the high-threshold line VP1, as compared with the low-threshol… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
