This important paper takes a novel approach to the problem of automatically reconstructing long-range axonal projections from stacks of images. The key innovation is to separate the identification of ...

When the activity was poorly synchronized, axon branches were instead eliminated. "That tells us that when these cells fire together, associations are strengthened," said Liang Liang, co-senior ...

A long fibre (axon) which is insulated by a fatty (myelin) sheath. They are long so they can carry messages up and down the body. Tiny branches (dendrons) which branch further as dendrites at each ...

This manipulation of actin molecules allows the axon to advance, retract, turn, or branch. In addition, the Rho family of proteins controls the retrograde flow of the specific actin protein ...
