A team of researchers at Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) and The University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) developed a computational method that improves the tracking of neurogenesis as neurons ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...
