The sprouting and elongation of axons and dendrites forms the basis of correct neuronal connectivity and brain function. The initial sprouting of a neurite is a three step process — the original round ...

The ability of adult molluscan neurons to exhibit neurite outgrowth and form synaptic connections after axotomy has been thoroughly investigated in recent years. More recently we have asked whether ...

Neutralizing a growth inhibitor in the spinal cord allows the cord to respond to experimental damage by connecting axons from the cortex to their appropriate spinal cord targets, according to a report ...
