The pattern of c-Fos expression and its refractory period in the brain of rats and monkeys

The pattern of c-Fos expression and its refractory period in the brain of rats and monkeys

Intense activation of neurons triggers the appearance of immediate expression genes, including c-fos. This gene is related to various signal cascades involved in biochemical processes such as neuronal plasticity, cell growth and mitosis. Here we investigate the expression pattern and the refractory...
