brainstem development

Definition

Target type: biologicalprocess

The progression of the brainstem from its formation to the mature structure. The brainstem is the part of the brain that connects the brain with the spinal cord. [GOC:dph]

The brainstem, a crucial structure connecting the cerebrum and cerebellum to the spinal cord, undergoes a complex developmental process. Its formation commences during the embryonic stage, with the neural tube, the precursor to the central nervous system, folding and differentiating. Specific regions within the brainstem, such as the midbrain, pons, and medulla oblongata, emerge from distinct segments of the neural tube.

Neural crest cells, a migratory population originating from the neural tube, play a vital role in brainstem development, contributing to the formation of cranial nerves and other structures. These cells undergo a series of signaling interactions, including the Wnt, Shh, and FGF pathways, which guide their differentiation and migration.

The brainstem's intricate circuitry, comprised of nuclei and tracts, develops progressively through a process of neurogenesis, axon guidance, and synapse formation. Axons from neurons within the brainstem extend to target regions, guided by chemical cues and interactions with other cells. Synapses, the junctions where neurons communicate, are established and refined through activity-dependent mechanisms.

Throughout development, the brainstem undergoes a period of plasticity, enabling the refinement of circuits and the establishment of functional connections. This plasticity is influenced by genetic factors, environmental cues, and experience, ultimately shaping the brainstem's role in controlling essential functions like breathing, heart rate, and sensory perception.

The development of the brainstem is a dynamic process, intricately regulated by a complex interplay of genetic and environmental factors. This intricate developmental journey ultimately gives rise to a structure fundamental for survival and overall physiological well-being.'

dasatinibdasatinib (anhydrous) : An aminopyrimidine that is 2-methylpyrimidine which is substituted at position 4 by the primary amino group of 2-amino-1,3-thiazole-5-carboxylic acid and at position 6 by a 4-(2-hydroxyethyl)piperazin-1-yl group, and in which the carboxylic acid group has been formally condensed with 2-chloro-6-methylaniline to afford the corresponding amide. A multi-targeted kinase inhibitor, it is used, particularly as the monohydrate, for the treatment of chronic, accelerated, or myeloid or lymphoid blast phase chronic myeloid leukemia. Note that the name 'dasatinib' is used to refer to the monohydrate (USAN) as well as to anhydrous dasatinib (INN).

saxitoxinsaxitoxin : An alkaloid isolated from the marine dinoflagellates and cyanobacteria that causes paralytic shellfish poisoning.

Saxitoxin: A compound that contains a reduced purine ring system but is not biosynthetically related to the purine alkaloids. It is a poison found in certain edible mollusks at certain times; elaborated by GONYAULAX and consumed by mollusks, fishes, etc. without ill effects. It is neurotoxic and causes RESPIRATORY PARALYSIS and other effects in MAMMALS, known as paralytic SHELLFISH poisoning.
