## Abstract At the leading edge of a growing axon, the growth cone determines the path the axon takes and also plays a role in the formation of branches, decisions that are regulated by a complex array of chemical signals. Here, we used microfabrication technology to determine whether differences i

Neurotrophins play major roles in the developing nervous system in controlling neuronal differentiation, neurite outgrowth, guidance and branching, synapse formation and maturation, and neuronal survival or death. There is increasing evidence that nervous system construction takes place in the prese

Local Self-Assembly Mechanisms Underlie the Differential Transformation of the Proximal and Distal Cut Axonal Ends Into Functional and Aberrant Growth Cones

## Abstract Following axotomy both the proximal and distal cut axonal ends transform into growth cones. Whereas the growth cone formed by the tip of the proximal segment branch to form neurites (left hand side), the structure formed by the distal cut end fails to grow. In redmicrotubules, blue ‐ ve
