Xavier A, Lima F, Nedergaard M, Menezes J
Front Cell Neurosci . 2015 Mar; 9:37. PMID: 25741237
The full spectrum of cellular interactions within CNS neurogenic niches is still poorly understood. Only recently has the monocyte counterpart of the nervous system, the microglial cells, been described as...

Xavier A, Menezes J, Goldman S, Nedergaard M
Philos Trans R Soc Lond B Biol Sci . 2014 Sep; 369(1654):20130593. PMID: 25225087
Microglia constitute as much as 10-15% of all cells in the mammalian central nervous system (CNS) and are the only glial cells that do not arise from the neuroectoderm. As...

Sequerra E, Costa M, Menezes J, Hedin-Pereira C
Development . 2013 Aug; 140(16):3303-9. PMID: 23900539
During embryonic development, the telencephalon is specified along its axis through morphogenetic gradients, leading to the positional-dependent generation of multiple neuronal types. After embryogenesis, however, the fate of neuronal progenitors...

Sohur U, Padmanabhan H, Kotchetkov I, Menezes J, Macklis J
Cereb Cortex . 2012 Nov; 24(2):293-303. PMID: 23118198
Corticostriatal projection neurons (CStrPN) project from the neocortex to ipsilateral and contralateral striata to control and coordinate motor programs and movement. They are clinically important as the predominant cortical population...

Cofre J, Menezes J, Pizzatti L, Abdelhay E
Cancer Cell Int . 2012 Jun; 12(1):28. PMID: 22709531
Background: Kaiso protein has been identified as a new member of the POZ-ZF subfamily of transcription factors that are involved in development and cancer. There is consistent evidence of the...

Emsley J, Menezes J, Madeiro da Costa R, Blanco Martinez A, Macklis J
Exp Neurol . 2012 May; 236(2):283-97. PMID: 22634209
Immature neurons migrate tangentially within the rostral migratory stream (RMS) to the adult olfactory bulb (OB), then radially to their final positions as granule and periglomerular neurons; the controls over...

Freitas A, L R Xavier A, Furtado C, Hedin-Pereira C, Froes M, Menezes J
Dev Neurobiol . 2012 Jan; 72(12):1482-97. PMID: 22234946
In this study, we have analyzed the specific contribution of the cortical radial glia (RG) for gap junctional communication (GJC) within the postnatal subventricular zone (SVZ). To specifically target RG...

Sequerra E, Miyakoshi L, Froes M, Menezes J, Hedin-Pereira C
Cereb Cortex . 2010 Feb; 20(11):2583-91. PMID: 20154014
The mammalian subventricular zone (SVZ) contains progenitors derived from cerebral cortex radial glia cells, which give rise to glutamatergic pyramidal neurons during embryogenesis. However, during postnatal life, SVZ generates neurons...

Marins M, L R Xavier A, Viana N, Fortes F, Froes M, Menezes J
Dev Neurobiol . 2009 Jul; 69(11):715-30. PMID: 19565626
The massive migration of neuroblasts and young neurons through the anterior extension of the postnatal subventricular zone (SVZ), known as the rostral migratory stream (RMS) is still poorly understood on...

Lai T, Jabaudon D, Molyneaux B, Azim E, Arlotta P, Menezes J, et al.
Neuron . 2008 Jan; 57(2):232-47. PMID: 18215621
The molecular mechanisms controlling the development of distinct subtypes of neocortical projection neurons, and CNS neuronal diversity more broadly, are only now emerging. We report that the transcription factor SOX5...
