Abstract:Neural circuit assembly requires the coordination of various developmental processes, including axon guidance and synapse formation. Growth cones, the leading edges of axons, navigate by interacting with different kinds of attractive and repulsive axon guidance cues along their trajectories and at target areas.Spinal cords consist of different types of neural circuits, such as sensory-motor, commissural, and sympathetic circuits. Each neural circuit provides an unique model system to understand the cellular an… Show more
