Scientists have uncovered the intricate circuit cues behind neuronal cell maturation and migration, which is required for proper cognitive function. The journey of a thousand miles begins with a ...
The structure and functions of the tip of migrating neurons remain elusive. A research group has found that the PTPσ-expressing growth cone senses the extracellular matrix and drives neuronal ...
Collective time-lapse images of a migrating neuron (left) and an elongating axon (right) from super-resolution microscopy. Growth cones at the tips of the neurons are extended while the cell body ...
