Exam 2

mitosis produces new neurons

divide and move out of ventricular zone to become the embryo for new neuron

cells move to establish distinct populations

help developing neurons move to the right place in developing brain

gene that regulates cell differentiation

selective death of some nerve cells

meuron turns on a set of genes that result in the production of caspases that destroy the cell (planned)

the neuron dies as a result of an injury or trauma (accidental)

within subject study to track brain development in children via MRI every 2 years for ages 2-8 yrs old

lack of proteins produced by the promotor region

inhibition of protein synthesis, especially in synthesis
