Adult neurogenesis was first observed nearly 60 years ago, and it has since grown into an
important neurochemistry research field. Much recent research has focused on the treatment …

Identification of actin-depolymerizing factor homology (ADF-H) domains in the structures of
several related proteins led first to the formation of the ADF/cofilin family, which then …

Drebrin is an actin‐binding protein that changes the helical pitch of actin filaments (F‐actin),
and drebrin‐decorated F‐actin shows slow treadmilling and decreased rate of …

The growth cone is a unique structure capable of guiding axons to their proper destinations.
Within the growth cone, extracellular guidance cues are interpreted and then transduced …

Brain development involves extensive migration of neurons. Microtubules (MTs) are key
cellular effectors of neuronal displacement that are assembled from α/β-tubulin …

Stromal cell-derived factor-1 (SDF-1) and chemokine receptor type 4 (CXCR4) are
regulators of neuronal migration (eg, GnRH neurons, cortical neurons, and hippocampal …

Neuronal migration from a germinal zone to a final laminar position is essential for the
morphogenesis of neuronal circuits. While it is hypothesized that microtubule–actomyosin …

The tangential migration of immature neurons in the postnatal brain involves consecutive
migration cycles and depends on constant remodeling of the cell cytoskeleton, particularly in …

Co‐ordinating the dynamic behaviour of actin filaments (F‐actin) and microtubules in
filopodia is an important underlying process in neuritogenesis, but the molecular pathways …

In the postnatal brain, three regions show high mitotic activity. These brain areas are
neurogenic niches, and each niche harbors a microenvironment favorable for the …
