Nature Reviews Neuroscience - Axon development branches out. There were several striking differences in the progression of elaboration between the two types of cell, despite their identical ...

They saw more branches in the axons when they added more mRNA used to make the repair protein beta-actin, while taking away the mRNA for the protein GAP-43. Above: More elongated growth in neurons ...

In humans, the process of learning is driven by different groups of cells in the brain firing together. For instance, when ...

When the activity was poorly synchronized, axon branches were instead eliminated. That tells us that when these cells fire together, associations are strengthened.
