It seems likely that multiple signaling pathways, some involving kinases, function cooperatively to define precise sites of synapse formation between axons and dendrites, and to determine ...

Axons have tau-bound microtubules of uniform orientation, whereas dendrites have microtubule-associated protein 2 (MAP2)-bound microtubules of mixed orientation. Dendrites also contain organelles ...

Central to this activity are synapses, the junctions where branches of neurons connect, similar to electrical wires. Here, an axon from one neuron links to a dendrite of another. At these synapses ...

"In neuronal axons, where mitochondria have been primarily ... The actin cytoskeleton is a network of protein filaments localized near synapses in dendrites that help to define and remodel ...
