A regional and interspecies comparative analysis of astroglial coupling was performed using astroglia-enriched subcultures, following Lucifer Yellow dye intracellular injections. Rat cerebral cortex subcultures showed a greater coupling level than striatal subcultures. Interspecies analysis demonstrated a significant difference in the level of astroglial coupling in human cerebral cortex, compared with that of rat or monkey. Results provide an ex vivo insight into brain regional and interspecies differences of astroglial coupling, which may be associated with in situ modular or conditional cellular assemblies of the brain neuropil.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007223 Infant A child between 1 and 23 months of age. Infants
D008297 Male Males
D011323 Primates An order of mammals consisting of more than 300 species that include LEMURS; LORISIDAE; TARSIERS; MONKEYS; and HOMINIDS. They are characterized by a relatively large brain when compared with other terrestrial mammals, forward-facing eyes, the presence of a CALCARINE SULCUS, and specialized MECHANORECEPTORS in the hands and feet which allow the perception of light touch. Primate
D001921 Brain The part of CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM that is contained within the skull (CRANIUM). Arising from the NEURAL TUBE, the embryonic brain is comprised of three major parts including PROSENCEPHALON (the forebrain); MESENCEPHALON (the midbrain); and RHOMBENCEPHALON (the hindbrain). The developed brain consists of CEREBRUM; CEREBELLUM; and other structures in the BRAIN STEM. Encephalon
