Cell-surface proteins (CSPs) mediate intercellular communication throughout the lives of
multicellular organisms. However, there are no generalizable methods for quantitative CSP …

Many biological systems consist of branching structures that exhibit a wide variety of shapes.
Our understanding of their systematic roles is hampered from the start by the lack of a …

Principles of Neurobiology, Second Edition presents the major concepts of neuroscience
with an emphasis on how we know what we know. The text is organized around a series of …

The conventional view of dendritic function is that dendrites collect synaptic input and deliver
it to the soma. This view has been challenged in recent years by new results demonstrating …

Nascent proteins can be positioned rapidly at precise subcellular locations by local protein
synthesis (LPS) to facilitate localized growth responses. Axon arbor architecture, a major …

The nervous system is populated by numerous types of neurons, each bearing a dendritic
arbor with a characteristic morphology. These type-specific features influence many aspects …

Extrinsic factors and the interactions of neurons with surrounding tissues are essential for
almost every aspect of neuronal development. Here we describe a strategy of g ene e …

Molecular interactions at the cellular interface mediate organized assembly of single cells
into tissues and, thus, govern the development and physiology of multicellular organisms …

Copy number variation (CNV) at the 15q11. 2 region has been identified as a significant risk
locus for neurological and neuropsychiatric conditions such as schizophrenia (SCZ) and …

Brain‐derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and its receptors TrkB and p75 regulate dendritic
and axonal growth during development and maintenance of the mature nervous system; …
