To test whether new neurons were generated in toxin-damaged retinas, we double labeled sections for BrdU and retinal neuron-specific markers. In the avian retina, ... Neuron 6, 923–936 (1991).

GABAergic neuron progenitors in the cerebellum give rise to Purkinje cells and GABAergic interneurons. ... Birthdating studies using 3 H-thymidine and BrdU 10,11,12,13,14,15, ...

BrdU is a variant of one of the four bases that make up DNA and once injected, it gets incorporated into newly-created DNA. In this way, the presence of BrdU acts as a marker for newborn cells. Again, ...

He looked at the brains of cancer patients who were injected with a chemical called BrdU before they died. ... At most, the neocortex adds one new neuron every year for every 7000 existing ones.

Controversial brain study has scientists rethinking neuron research Published: March 14, 2018 6 :49am EDT ... nicknamed BrdU to identify brand new neurons in human adult hippocampus – but the ...

It can be detected in a variety of ways, including the measurement of DNA synthesis by the incorporation of BrdU into newly synthesized DNA, which is then visualized using anti-BrdU antibodies. This ...

"However, what is clear is that in four separate experiments involving two independent lines for each transgene, the fractional survival of BrdU-labeled cells in FAD mutant animals was always ...
