ABSTRACT: Abstract
It is well known that oligodendrocyte-associated Nogo-A protein is an important regulator of axonal outgrowth and an important inhibitor of functional recovery and anatomical plasticity after central nervous system (CNS) injury. Abundant studies of oligodendrocyte-associated Nogo-A function in the uninjured rodent have suggested a role in neuronal development and synaptic function. On the other hand, the roles of neuron-associated (i.e., neuronal) Nogo-A have not been fully investigated. We have previously shown that neuronal Nogo-A influence dendritic spine density and morphology in pyramidal neurons of the intact neocortex. To further examine the role of neuronal Nogo-A in this synaptic population, we designed an RNAi directed against Nogo-A, delivered to the developing
