Repair and functional recovery after brain injury critically depends on structural and
functional plasticity of preserved neuronal networks. A striking feature of brain structures …

We show that the loss or inactivation of the polysialic acid (PSA) tail of neural cell adhesion
molecule (NCAM) on rat cortical neurons in culture leads to reduced differentiation and …

The neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) and its polysialylated form PSA-NCAM
contribute to many aspects of the development and plasticity of the central nervous system …

By mediating cell adhesion and signal transduction, the neural cell adhesion molecule
(NCAM) regulates neurite outgrowth, fasciculation and target recognition in the developing …

The Neural Cell Adhesion Molecule (NCAM) serves as a temporally and spatially regulated
modulator of a variety of cell-cell interactions. This review summarizes recent results of …

The neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) plays a pivotal role in neural development,
regeneration, and plasticity. NCAM mediates adhesion and subsequent signal transduction …

Isoforms of the neuronal cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) carrying the linear homopolymer of
alpha 2, 8-linked sialic acid (polysialic acid, PSA) have emerged as particularly attractive …

Highly stereotyped patterns of neuronal connections are laid down during the development
of the nervous system via a range of activity independent and activity dependent …

The rat medial prefrontal cortex, an area considered homologous to the human prefrontal
cortex, is a region in which neuronal structural plasticity has been described during …

Stimulation of the neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) by homophilic interactions is
known to lead to neurite outgrowth as well as to neuronal survival. Whereas a complex …
