Axon degeneration: Linking axonal bioenergetics to myelin [PDF]
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 ...

Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs): Risk Factors for Autism Spectrum Disorder?
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) includes a group of multifactorial neurodevelopmental disorders defined clinically by core deficits in social reciprocity and communication, restrictive interests and repetitive behaviors.

Unrestrained growth of correctly oriented microtubules instructs axonal microtubule orientation
In many eukaryotic cells, directed molecular transport occurs along microtubules. Within neuronal axons, transport over vast distances particularly relies on uniformly oriented microtubules, whose plus-ends point towards the distal axon tip ...

PCB 11 is an emerging global pollutant that we recently showed promotes axonal and dendritic growth in primary rat neuronal cell cultures. Here, we address the influence of sex and species on neuronal responses to PCB 11.

The role of higher-order thalamus during learning and correct performance in goal-directed behavior
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.

Large-Scale Mapping of Axonal Arbors Using High-Density Microelectrode Arrays
Understanding the role of axons in neuronal information processing is a fundamental task in neuroscience. Over the last years, sophisticated patch-clamp investigations have provided unexpected and exciting data on axonal phenomena and functioning, but ...

Axonal Odorant Receptors Mediate Axon Targeting [PDF]
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.

Neurons in the mouse primary visual cortex (V1) exhibit characteristic response selectivity to visual stimuli, such as orientation, direction and spatial frequency selectivity. Since V1 receives thalamic visual inputs from the lateral geniculate nucleus (

Interferon inhibits the release of herpes simplex virus-1 from the axons of sensory neurons
Herpes simplex virus-1 (HSV-1) has evolved mechanisms to evade the host immune system and limit the antiviral effects induced by interferon (IFN) produced by local epithelial and immune cells.
