The remarkable ability of a single axon to extend multiple branches and form terminal arbors
enables vertebrate neurons to integrate information from divergent regions of the nervous …

ABSTRACT Stereotyped movements (“stereotypies”) are semi-voluntary repetitive
movements that are a prominent clinical feature of autism spectrum disorder. They are …

The branching of axons is a fundamental aspect of nervous system development and
neuroplasticity. We report that branching of sensory axons in the presence of nerve growth …

The biological functions debate is a perennial topic in the philosophy of science. In the first
full-length account of the nature and importance of biological functions for many years …

The capacity of neurons to develop a long axon and multiple dendrites defines neuron
connectivity in the CNS. The highly conserved microRNA-9 (miR-9) is expressed in both …

Appropriate axonal growth and connectivity are essential for functional wiring of the brain.
Joubert syndrome-related disorders (JSRD), a group of ciliopathies in which mutations …

Axon branching is fundamental to the development of the peripheral and central nervous
system [1, 2]. Branches that sprout from the axon shaft are termed collateral or interstitial …

Injured retinal ganglion cell (RGC) axons do not regenerate spontaneously, causing loss of
vision in glaucoma and after trauma. Recent studies have identified several strategies that …

The primary cilium, a microtubule based organelle protruding from the cell surface and
acting as an antenna in multiple signaling pathways, takes center stage in the formation of …

The establishment of a functioning neuronal network is a crucial step in neural development.
During this process, neurons extend neurites—axons and dendrites—to meet other neurons …
