Growth cone formation at the terminal region of severed axons is a fundamental step in neuronal regeneration. To understand the cytoskeletal events underlying this process, we have followed actin organization and dynamics as the severed, axonal stumps of Helisoma neurons transformed into mature grow
Neurons begin to polarize when one of the neurites becomes the axon. Hippocampal neurons in cell culture have a sharp transition between their unpolarized and polarized stage revealed by the rapid growth of the future axon. Recent progress shows that both a cytoplasmic membrane flow and actin dynami
