, 2019 Axons are linear processes of nerve cells that can range from a few tens of micrometers up to meters in length. In addition to external cues, the length of an axon is also regulated by unknown internal mechanisms.

Snake and spider toxins induce a rapid recovery of function of botulinum neurotoxin paralysed neuromuscular junction [PDF]
, 2015 Botulinum neurotoxins (BoNTs) and some animal neurotoxins (-Bungarotoxin, -Btx, from elapid snakes and -Latrotoxin, -Ltx, from black widow spiders) are pre-synaptic neurotoxins that paralyse motor axon terminals with similar clinical outcomes in patients.

The Drosophila immunoglobulin gene turtle encodes guidance molecules involved in axon pathfinding [PDF]
, 2009 Background: Neuronal growth cones follow specific pathways over long distances in order to reach their appropriate targets. Research over the past 15 years has yielded a large body of information concerning the molecules that regulate this process.

Soma-Axon Coupling Configurations That Enhance Neuronal Coincidence Detection [PDF]
, 2019 Coincidence detector neurons transmit timing information by responding preferentially to concurrent synaptic inputs. Principal cells of the medial superior olive (MSO) in the mammalian auditory brainstem are superb coincidence detectors.

Carcinogenesis in Ulcerative Colitis: Is Surveillance Worthwhile?
Canadian Journal of Gastroenterology, 1990 Observations that dysplastic epithelium predicts neoplastic change in the coli tic bowel have led to the adoption of surveillance policies in ulcerative colitis patients, usually involving colonoscopy irrespective of symptomatology.

Trust and distrust in contradictory information transmission
Applied Network Science, 2017 We analyse the problem of contradictory information distribution in networks of agents with positive and negative trust. The networks of interest are built by ranked agents with different epistemic attitudes. In this context, positive trust is a property

AxonDeepSeg: automatic axon and myelin segmentation from microscopy data using convolutional neural networks [PDF]
, 2017 Segmentation of axon and myelin from microscopy images of the nervous system provides useful quantitative information about the tissue microstructure, such as axon density and myelin thickness. This could be used for instance to document cell morphometry
