摘要
Axonal elongation involves the coordinated assembly and activation of molecular pathways in response to environmental signals. Neurons sense the environment at growth cones to decide on further growth, arborization or consolidation. The work by Ana Mingorance-Le Meur and Timothy P. O'Connor highlights the important role of neurite shaft dynamics in the consolidation process.
