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 Requirement of Sox2 for the Spinal Cord Motor Neuron Development of Zebrafish
Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2020 Sex-determining region Y box 2 (Sox2), expressed in neural tissues, plays an important role as a transcription factor not only in the pluripotency and proliferation of neuronal cells but also in the opposite function of cell differentiation. Nevertheless,

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.

Requirement for Slit-1 and Robo-2 in zonal segregation of olfactory sensory neuron axons in the main olfactory bulb [PDF]
, 2007 The formation of precise stereotypic connections in sensory systems is critical for the ability to detect and process signals from the environment. In the olfactory system, olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs) project axons to spatially defined glomeruli ...

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.

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 ...

Predicting Axonal Response to Molecular Gradients with a Computational Model of Filopodial Dynamics [PDF]
, 2004 Axons are often guided to their targets in the developing nervous system by attractive or repulsive molecular concentration gradients. We propose a computational model for gradient sensing and directed movement of the growth cone mediated by filopodia ...
