Figure 1
The part of the cortex in the brain that produces island and ocean cells
What is the MECII?
These were the techniques used in figure 2
What are Cre-lox knockout and immunofluorescence?
Island cells and ocean cells
What is in OTCs?
A protein that appears when island cells appear
Wsf1
Dab1 fluorescence was looked at for this reason
What is Dab1 is regulated by reelin, and should increase in fluorescence if reelin is knocked out
Length and number of segments of dendrites
What did they measure?
Finish the sentence: The confocal images of Figure 1 were taken 10 days...
This is proven by parts A-E of figure 2
What is the Cre-lox knockout was successful, as reelin expression decreased?
This is the purpose of the wild type-wild type co-culture
What is a negative control?
Researchers used nuclear marker TO-PRO-3 to verify these
What is the presence of cells in MECII?
In Figure 2 part P, these researchers used the significant increase in fluorescence in reelin knockout cells as evidence to support this hypothesis
What is the increase in fluorescence indicates the overexpression of Dab1 and possibly the hypertrophy of dendrites in ocean and island cells in the absence of reelin?
