Axon branching connects single neurons with multiple targets, which, along with the formation of highly branched terminal arbors, underlies the complex circuitry of the vertebrate CNS.

A wide range of insults can trigger axon degeneration, and axons respond with diverse morphology, topology and speed. However, recent genetic, immunochemical, morphological and pharmacological ...

In a new study published in Science, Yale researchers have identified how brain cells begin to coalesce into this wired network in early development before experience has a chance to shape the ...
