Journal ArticleDOI
A protein induced during nerve growth (GAP-43) is a major component of growth-cone membranes.
TL;DR: Immunohistochemical localization of GAP-43 in frozen sections of developing brain indicates that the protein is specifically associated with neuropil areas containing growth cones and immature synaptic terminals, and supports the proposal that Gap-43 plays a role in axon growth.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cloning of complementary DNA for GAP-43, a neuronal growth-related protein
TL;DR: GAP-43 is one of a small subset of cellular proteins selectively transported by a neuron to its terminals, and its enrichment in growth cones and its increased levels in developing or regenerating neurons suggest that it has an important role in neurite growth.

Journal ArticleDOI
Magnetic field of a nerve impulse: first measurements
TL;DR: The magnetic field of the action potential from an isolated frog sciatic nerve was measured by a SQUID magnetometer with a novel room-temperature pickup coil.
Journal ArticleDOI
Possible regulatory function of acetylcholine receptor in maintenance of retinotectal synapses
John A. Freeman,John A. Freeman +1 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that postsynaptic cells exert a control, associated with receptors, on the growth of presynaptic terminals and on the maintenance of their synaptic connections.
