Regulation of Subventricular Zone-Derived Cells Migration in the Adult Brain
The subventricular zone of the lateral ventricles (SVZ) is the largest source of neural stem cells (NSCs) in the adult mammalian brain. Newly generated neuroblasts from the SVZ form cellular chains that migrate through the rostral migratory stream (RMS) into the olfactory bulb (OB), where they become mature neurons. Migration through the RMS is a highly regulated process of intrinsic and extrinsic factors, orchestrated to achieve direction and integration of neuroblasts into OB circuitry. These factors include internal cytoskeletal and volume regulators, extracellular matrix proteins, and chemoattractant and chemorepellent proteins. All these molecules direct the cells away from the SVZ, through the RMS, and into the OB guaranteeing their correct integration. Following brain injury, some neuroblasts escape the RMS and migrate into the lesion site to participate in regeneration, a phenomenon that is also observed with brain tumors. This review focuses on factors that regulate the migration of SVZ precursor cells in the healthy and pathologic brain. A better understanding of the factors that control the movement of newly generated cells may be crucial for improving the use of NSC-replacement therapy for specific neurological diseases.Peer reviewe

Sistemas de comunicación aumentativa alternativa para docentes de primaria de escuela especial
La capacitación a docentes en el uso de sistemas de comunicación aumentativa alternativa es importante como herramienta de trabajo para el lenguaje en educación especial. Los sistemas de comunicación aumentativos y alternativos son herramientas valiosas para los docentes, ya que permiten a las personas con discapacidades del habla y del lenguaje comunicarse y participar en actividades educativas y sociales.
Objetivo: Analizar el grado de aceptación sobre las estrategias y recursos de los docentes del nivel primario de una escuela especial de la ciudad de Quilmes en 2023, pre y post asistencia a un taller de sistemas de comunicación aumentativo alternativo.Fil: Ibañez, Pierina.

Capilla de Aranzazú: Museo Regional Potosino
El Convento de San Francisco de San Luis Potosí, se fundó en 1592 y llegó a abarcar un extenso terreno. Su construcción se logró en varias etapas y albergó a varios frailes encargados de la pacificación de los grupos indígenas que habitaban el norte del territorio. Como consecuencia de las Leyes de Reforma el convento pasó a manos del Gobierno, y tanto la capilla de Aranzazú como sus anexos tuvieron a partir de entonces otros usos. Hacia 1870, con la apertura de la calle de la Tercera Orden, hoy calle de Galeana, la capilla de Aranzazú y la de San Antonio, perdieron la mitad de su sacristía. Tres décadas después, el corredor que daba al atrio de la capilla, y que conectaba toda la segunda planta del edificio, se demolió y en su lugar se construyó una escalera para generarle un acceso independiente y poder venderla.</p
