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.

Intra-axonal mechanisms driving axon regeneration
Brain Research, 2020 Traumatic injury to the peripheral and central nervous systems very often causes axotomy, where an axon loses connections with its target resulting in loss of function. The axon segments distal to the injury site lose connection with the cell body and degenerate.

Cytoplasmic cleavage of IMPA1 3′ UTR is necessary for maintaining axon integrity
Cell Reports, 2021 Summary: The 3′ untranslated regions (3′ UTRs) of messenger RNAs (mRNAs) are non-coding sequences involved in many aspects of mRNA metabolism, including intracellular localization and translation.

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 ...

eLife, 2021 During brain development, axons must extend over great distances in a relatively short amount of time. How the subcellular architecture of the growing axon sustains the requirements for such rapid build-up of cellular constituents has remained elusive ...

Neuron Names: A Gene- and Property-Based Name Format, With Special Reference to Cortical Neurons
Frontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2019 Precision in neuron names is increasingly needed. We are entering a new era in which classical anatomical criteria are only the beginning toward defining the identity of a neuron as carried in its name.

Lmx1b is required at multiple stages to build expansive serotonergic axon architectures
eLife, 2019 Formation of long-range axons occurs over multiple stages of morphological maturation. However, the intrinsic transcriptional mechanisms that temporally control different stages of axon projection development are unknown. Here, we addressed this question
