How Neurotransmitters Work and What They Do
At the end of each neuron is a tiny gap called a synapse ... In most cases, a neurotransmitter is released from what's known as the axon terminal after an action potential (aka electrical signal ...

Neurons have elaborate cytoskeletal structures.
which transport materials from the cell body to the axon terminals at the synapse. (D) The growth cone contains dendritic actin filament networks and parallel actin filament filopodia.

Right Protein, Wrong Pattern
When I expressed the different protein constructs in neuron cells in culture, I demonstrated that these C-terminal tails determined the localization ... the axons and the second one localized along ...

Patterning and axon guidance of cranial motor neurons
In this Review, I describe the latest findings in cranial motor neuron patterning and axon guidance, focusing mainly on mouse and chick studies (as zebrafish studies have been reviewed elsewhere ...
Researchers show how dopamine pathways contribute to complex neural circuits that control goal-directed behavior
Research titled "Encoding of self-initiated actions in axon terminals of the mesocortical pathway" reported in Neurophotonics ...
