▪ Abstract We describe the formation, maturation, elimination, maintenance, and regeneration of vertebrate neuromuscular junctions (NMJs), the best studied of all synapses …
The functioning of the nervous system depends upon the underlying detailed and highly stereotyped patterns of neuronal connectivity. How these precise patterns of synaptic …
We used the enhancer detection/GAL4 system in Drosophila to direct increased levels of Fasciclin II (Fas II) expression on motoneuron growth cones and axons and to direct ectopic …

In order to form a functional nervous system, neurones extend axons, often over long distances, to reach their targets. This process is controlled by extracellular receptors and …

The neurotransmitter GABA has been proposed to play a role during nervous system development. We show that theCaenorhabditis elegans gene unc-25encodes glutamic acid …
Over the past decade, new insights have been obtained into the cellular strategies and molecular mechanisms that guide axons to their targets in the developing vertebrate …
