Properties of a fetal multipotent neural stem cell (NEP cell)

J Cai, Y Wu, T Mirua, JL Pierce, MT Lucero… - Developmental …, 2002 - Elsevier
Multipotent neural stem cells (NSCs) present in the developing neural tube (E10.5, neuroepithelial
cells; NEP) were examined for the expression of candidate stem cell markers, and the …

[PDF][PDF] Associative cortex features in the first olfactory brain relay station

…, DH Gire, J Whitesell, V Carmean, MT Lucero… - Neuron, 2011 - cell.com
Synchronized firing of mitral cells (MCs) in the olfactory bulb (OB) has been hypothesized to

Activation of purinergic receptor subtypes modulates odor sensitivity

…, W Huang, P Han, MT Lucero - Journal of …, 2003 - Soc Neuroscience
Purinergic nucleotides, including ATP and adenosine, are important neuromodulators of
peripheral auditory and visual sensory systems ( Thorne and Housley, 1996 ). ATP released by …

Calcium store‐mediated signaling in sustentacular cells of the mouse olfactory epithelium

CC Hegg, M Irwin, MT Lucero - Glia, 2009 - Wiley Online Library
Sustentacular cells have structural features that allude to functions of secretion, absorption,
phagocytosis, maintenance of extracellular ionic gradients, metabolism of noxious chemicals…

Ionic conductances in sustentacular cells of the mouse olfactory epithelium

F Vogalis, CC Hegg, MT Lucero - The Journal of physiology, 2005 - Wiley Online Library
The electrical properties of sustentacular cells (SCs) in the olfactory epithelium (OE) were
investigated in tissue slices taken from neonatal mice (P0–P4). Conventional whole‐cell …

Behavioral Responses to Chemical Stimulation of the Olfactory Organ in the Squid Loligo Opalescens

WF Gilly, MT Lucero - Journal of Experimental Biology, 1992 - journals.biologists.com
