Axon guidance: growth cones make an unexpected turn

Current Biology : CB
Barry J Dickson, Kirsten-André Senti

Abstract

Axonal growth cones can turn in response to minute concentration differences in extracellular guidance cues. Surprising new work suggests that these cues might steer the growth cone by inducing rapid local changes in protein levels.

Axon Guidance

Axon guidance is a complex neural developmental field that investigates mechanisms through which neurons send out axons to reach its target. Here is the latest research in this domain.
