Growing axons are exposed to various guidance cues en route to their targets. Although
many guidance molecules have been identified and their effects on axon behavior …

Highlights•Neurite self-organization plays key roles in nervous system assembly.•Arranges
axons in nerve tracts and targets, confines target zones and connectivity.•Relies on axon …

Disruption of the Frizzled3 (Fz3) gene leads to defects in axonal growth in the VIIth and XIIth
cranial motor nerves, the phrenic nerve, and the dorsal motor nerve in fore-and hindlimbs. In …

Axon fasciculation is one of the processes controlling topographic innervation during
embryonic development. While axon guidance steers extending axons in the accurate …

Bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) transgenesis and gene/enhancer trapping are
effective approaches for identification of genetically defined neuronal populations in the …

Growing axons navigate a complex environment as they respond to attractive and repellent
guidance cues. Axons can modulate their responses to cues through a G-protein-coupled …

Axonal branches of the trigeminal ganglion (TG) display characteristic growth and
arborization patterns during development. Subsets of TG neurons express different …

During embryogenesis motor axons navigate to their target muscles, where individual motor
axons develop complex branch morphologies. The mechanisms that control axonal …

Objectives/Hypothesis Optimal management of vocal fold paralysis would entail recurrent
laryngeal nerve (RLN) reinnervation resulting in normal vocal fold motion. Unfortunately …

Rhythmic waves of spontaneous electrical activity are widespread in the developing nervous
systems of birds and mammals, and although many aspects of neural development are …
