During nervous system development, axons generate branches to connect with multiple
synaptic targets. As with axon growth and guidance, axon branching is tightly controlled in …

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 …

Precise wiring of cortical circuits during development depends upon axon extension,
guidance, and branching to appropriate targets. Motile growth cones at axon tips navigate …

The ability of neurons to form a single axon and multiple dendrites underlies the directional
flow of information transfer in the central nervous system. Dendrites and axons are …

The development of a functional nervous system entails establishing connectivity between
appropriate synaptic partners. During axonal pathfinding, the developing axon navigates …

The development of the vertebrate nervous system, including the brain and spinal cord,
progresses in a step-wise fashion that involves the function of thousands of genes. The birth …

During development axon outgrowth and branching are independently regulated such that
axons can stall or retract while their interstitial branches extend toward targets. Previous …

During development of the central nervous system, growth cones navigate along specific
pathways, recognize their targets and then form synaptic connections by elaborating …

The human brain assembles an incredible network of over a billion neurons. Understanding
how these connections form during development in order for the brain to function properly is …

Axonal branching is an important process for establishing the final pattern of connections
between a neuron and its target cells. Cortical connections between upper-layer cells in the …
