- Axonal branching and cGMP signalling during the development of the nervous system.
To establish synaptic contacts, neurons must extend axons and dendrites which are guided to their target region by the growth cone. One principle process that defines the pattern of axonal trajectories is the formation of axonal branches in specific regions.
- Activity-dependent regulation of neuronal cell surface proteins : CALEB
The formation of synapses in the central nervous system is a complex process and might be regulated by multiple molecules.
The generation of specific synaptic connections is also critically dependent on electric activity, which might be important for the fine-tuning.
