In the mammalian CNS, axon branches typically extend interstitially, at right angles from the axon shaft behind the terminal growth cone ().This delayed interstitial branching can occur days after ...

Nature Reviews Neuroscience - Axon development branches out. There were several striking differences in the progression of elaboration between the two types of cell, despite their identical ...

They saw more branches in the axons when they added more mRNA used to make the repair protein beta-actin, while taking away the mRNA for the protein GAP-43. Above: More elongated growth in neurons ...

They saw more branches in the axons when they added more mRNA used to make the repair protein beta-actin, while taking away the mRNA for the protein GAP-43.

Axons with both branches cut after a branch point regenerated in 67 percent of cases. Regeneration occurred in the form of axon elongation, branching or both for at least five days after injury.

When the activity was poorly synchronized, axon branches were instead eliminated. "That tells us that when these cells fire ...

In another neuron called a chandelier cell (above), vertical branches of its signal-sending axon, which serves to quiet other cells, dangle around the cell body. Allen Institute for Brain Science.

Researchers at University of California, San Diego School of Medicine report a previously unappreciated phenomenon in which the location of injury to a neuron’s communication wire in the spinal cord — ...
