Journal ArticleDOI
Axon branching requires interactions between dynamic microtubules and actin filaments.
Erik W. Dent,Katherine Kalil +1 more
TL;DR: Interactions between dynamic microtubules and actin filaments are required for axon branching and directed axon outgrowth in cortical growth cones and axons undergoing branching.
Journal ArticleDOI
Netrin-1 and semaphorin 3A promote or inhibit cortical axon branching, respectively, by reorganization of the cytoskeleton.
TL;DR: Results show that guidance factors influence the organization and dynamics of the cytoskeleton at the growth cone and the axon shaft to promote or inhibit axon branching.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reorganization and movement of microtubules in axonal growth cones and developing interstitial branches.
TL;DR: Time-lapse digital imaging of developing cortical neurons microinjected with fluorescently labeled tubulin is used to follow the movements of individual MTs in two regions of the axon where directed growth occurs: the terminal growth cone and the developing interstitial branch, demonstrating directly that MTs move within axonal growth cones and developed interstitial branches.
Journal ArticleDOI
Branch management: mechanisms of axon branching in the developing vertebrate CNS
Katherine Kalil,Erik W. Dent +1 more
TL;DR: Recent studies have identified molecular cues that activate intracellular signalling pathways in axons and mediate dynamic reorganization of the cytoskeleton to promote the formation of axon branches.
Journal ArticleDOI
Projections of the cerebellar and dorsal column nuclei upon the thalamus of the rhesus monkey.
TL;DR: Projections from the cerebellar and dorsal column nuclei to the midbrain and thalamus of the rhesus monkey were traced with anterograde autoradiographic techniques, or, in a few cases, with the Fink‐Heimer method.
