An action potential initiation mechanism in distal axons for the control of dopamine release
Science, 2022 Information flow in neurons proceeds by integrating inputs in dendrites, generating action potentials near the soma, and releasing neurotransmitters from nerve terminals in the axon.

Neuron-Oligodendrocyte Interactions in the Structure and Integrity of Axons
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021 The myelination of axons by oligodendrocytes is a highly complex cell-to-cell interaction. Oligodendrocytes and axons have a reciprocal signaling relationship in which oligodendrocytes receive cues from axons that direct their myelination, and ...

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 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.

The role of higher-order thalamus during learning and correct performance in goal-directed behavior
eLife, 2022 The thalamus is a gateway to the cortex. Cortical encoding of complex behavior can therefore only be understood by considering the thalamic processing of sensory and internally generated information.

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

eLife, 2015 In this study, we investigated how microtubule motors organize microtubules in Drosophila neurons. We showed that, during the initial stages of axon outgrowth, microtubules display mixed polarity and minus-end-out microtubules push the tip of the axon ...

Oligodendroglia metabolically support axons and contribute to neurodegeneration
Nature, 2012 Oligodendroglia support axon survival and function through mechanisms independent of myelination, and their dysfunction leads to axon degeneration in several diseases. The cause of this degeneration has not been determined, but lack of energy metabolites

Frontiers in Neurology, 2020 Traumatic brain injury is a major global cause of death and disability. Axonal injury is a major underlying mechanism of TBI and could represent a major therapeutic target.
