Activation of c-fos in the brain

Progress in Neurobiology
D G Herrera, H A Robertson

Abstract

Activation of the proto-oncogene c-fos in the brain was described initially almost a decade ago and represents one of the most studied immediate early genes in the brain. Transient c-fos expression in the central nervous system was first observed after seizure activity and following noxious stimulation in the spinal cord. Since then, multiple studies have shown that different stimuli can induce c-fos expression. Seizure activity induces rapid and transient expression of c-fos in hippocampal structures. Similarly, transient activation of c-fos follows cortical brain injury in a pattern that resembles that of spreading depression. Many other stimuli have been shown to induce the expression of this proto-oncogene in the brain and c-fos immunostaining and in situ hybridization are now used to map brain metabolism under different physiological and non-physiological conditions. Here we review the variety of inducible patterns of c-fos expression in the brain.

Brain Ischemia

Brain ischemia is a condition in which there is insufficient blood flow to the brain to meet metabolic demand. Discover the latest research on brain ischemia here.

Astrocytes

Astrocytes are glial cells that support the blood-brain barrier, facilitate neurotransmission, provide nutrients to neurons, and help repair damaged nervous tissues. Here is the latest research.

Brain Injury & Trauma

brain injury after impact to the head is due to both immediate mechanical effects and delayed responses of neural tissues.
