The avian tectobulbar tract: development, explant culture, and effects of antibodies on the pattern of neurite outgrowth [PDF]
The tectobulbar tract is the first long-distance projecting fiber pathway to appear during the development of the avian optic tectum (dorsal half of the mesencephalon).

Thrombospondin-4, an extracellular matrix protein expressed in the developing and adult nervous system promotes neurite outgrowth [PDF]
Extracellular matrix (ECM) molecules are involved in multiple aspects of cell-to-cell signaling during development and in the adult. In nervous system development, specific recognition processes, e.g., during axonal pathfinding and synaptogenesis involve

The endogenous spinal cord ependymal cells (SCECs), which form the central canal (CC), are critically involved in proliferation, differentiation and migration after spinal cord injury (SCI) and represents a repair cell source in treating SCI. Previously,

Consequences of Neurite Transection In Vitro [PDF]
In order to quantify degenerative and regenerative changes and analyze the contribution of multiple factors to the outcome after neurite transection, we cultured adult mouse dorsal root ganglion neurons, and with a precise laser beam, we transected the nerve fibers they extended.

The Combinatorics of Neurite Self-Avoidance [PDF]
During neural development in Drosophila, the ability of neurite branches to recognize whether they are from the same or different neurons depends crucially on the molecule Dscam1. In particular, this recognition depends on the stochastic acquisition of a unique combination of Dscam1 isoforms out of a large set of possible isoforms.

Neurite Outgrowth: A Flick of the Wrist [PDF]
A new study has shown that, near the tip of a growing axon, dephosphorylation of the microtubule-associated protein Doublecortin is controlled by protein phosphatase 1 and its regulator spinophilin. This results in spatially regulated microtubule bundling within the axon and more efficient axon outgrowth.

Gradient-independent Wnt signaling instructs asymmetric neurite pruning in C. elegans
During development, the nervous system undergoes a refinement process by which neurons initially extend an excess number of neurites, the majority of which will be eliminated by the mechanism called neurite pruning.

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and dyslexia are both neurodevelopmental disorders with high prevalence in children. Both disorders have strong genetic basis, and share similar social communication deficits co-occurring with impairments of reading or ...

A comparative analysis of the nervous system of cheilostome bryozoans
Background Bryozoans are sessile aquatic suspension feeders in mainly marine, but also freshwater habitats. Most species belong to the marine and calcified Cheilostomata.

The cytoskeleton and neurite initiation [PDF]
Neurons begin their life as simple spheres, but can ultimately assume an elaborate morphology with numerous, highly arborized dendrites, and long axons. This is achieved via an astounding developmental progression which is dependent upon regulated assembly and dynamics of the cellular cytoskeleton.
