One of the central questions in neuroscience is how particular tasks, or computations, are
implemented by neural networks to generate behavior. The prevailing view has been that …

Neurons are among the most highly polarized cell types in the body, and the polarization of
axon and dendrites underlies the ability of neurons to integrate and transmit information in …

Insect dendritic arborization (da) neurons provide an opportunity to examine how diverse
dendrite morphologies and dendritic territories are established during development. We …

▪ Abstract The actin cytoskeleton plays a major role in morphological development of
neurons and in structural changes of adult neurons. This article reviews the myriad functions …

The Wnt signaling pathway plays a role in the development of the central nervous system
and growing evidence indicates that Wnts also regulates the structure and function of the …

Members of the Wnt signaling family are important mediators of numerous developmental
events, including activity-dependent dendrite development, but the pathways regulating …

Dendritic spines are motile structures that contain high concentrations of filamentous actin.
Using hippocampal neurons expressing fluorescent actin and the method of fluorescence …

In plants, defence against specific isolates of a pathogen can be triggered by the presence
of a corresponding race-specific resistance gene, whereas resistance of a more broad …

Regulated growth and arborization of dendritic processes are critical to the formation of
functional neuronal networks. Here we identify β-catenin as a critical mediator of dendritic …

The form of a neuron's dendritic arbor determines the set of axons with which it may form
synaptic contacts, thus establishing connectivity within neural circuits. However, the dynamic …
