Physiological Reviews, 2011 Axons are generally considered as reliable transmission cables in which stable propagation occurs once an action potential is generated. Axon dysfunction occupies a central position in many inherited and acquired neurological disorders that affect both peripheral and central neurons.

Axonal transport during injury on a theoretical axon
Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2023 Neurodevelopment, plasticity, and cognition are integral with functional directional transport in neuronal axons that occurs along a unique network of discontinuous polar microtubule (MT) bundles. Axonopathies are caused by brain trauma and genetic diseases that perturb or disrupt the axon MT infrastructure and, with it, the dynamic interplay of motor ...

Axonal Odorant Receptors Mediate Axon Targeting [PDF]
Cell Reports, 2019 In mammals, odorant receptors not only detect odors but also define the target in the olfactory bulb, where sensory neurons project to give rise to the sensory map. The odorant receptor is expressed at the cilia, where it binds odorants, and at the axon terminal.

Axon degeneration: Linking axonal bioenergetics to myelin [PDF]
Journal of Cell Biology, 2016 The mechanisms by which axonal degeneration occurs, even in the presence of apparently normal myelin sheaths, remain unknown. In this issue, Yin et al. (2016. J. Cell Biol. https://doi.org/10.1083/jcb.201607099) study mutant mice in which proteolipid protein is replaced by the peripheral myelin protein P0 and describe a number of early axonal ...

Molecular mechanisms separating two axonal pathways during embryonic development of the avian optic tectum [PDF]
, 1991 During embryonic development of the avian optic tectum, retinal and tectobulbar axons form an orthogonal array of nerve processes. Growing axons of both tracts are transiently very closely apposed to each other. Despite this spatial proximity, axons from

Axon fasciculation and differences in midline kinetics between pioneer and follower axons within commissural fascicles [PDF]
, 2003 Early neuronal scaffold development studies suggest that initial neurons and their axons serve as guides for later neurons and their processes. Although this arrangement might aid axon navigation, the specific consequence(s) of such interactions are ...

Planar cell polarity genes Frizzled3a, Vangl2, and Scribble are required for spinal commissural axon guidance [PDF]
, 2016 Background A fundamental feature of early nervous system development is the guidance of axonal projections to their targets in order to assemble neural circuits that control behavior.

Mechanisms for the maintenance and eventual degradation of neurofilament proteins in the distal segments of severed goldfish Mauthner axons [PDF]
, 1996 Cellular mechanisms that might affect the degradation of neurofilament proteins (NFPs) were examined in the distal segments of severed goldfish Mauthner axons (M-axons), which do not degenerate for more than 2 months after severance.

Optogenetic Interrogation of Functional Synapse Formation by Corticospinal Tract Axons in the Injured Spinal Cord [PDF]
, 2016 To restore function after injury to the CNS, axons must be stimulated to extend into denervated territory and, critically, must form functional synapses with appropriate targets. We showed previously that forced overexpression of the transcription factor
