A fundamental feature of neurons is that they possess a polarized morphology, typified by a single long axon and several short dendrites. This cellular polarity forms the basis for directionalized rapid signaling, and for bi-directional trophic signaling, in neuronal circuits. While a catalog of str
Neurons have unique structural and functional polarity. In general, information flows from the short dendrites to the long axon, and each neuron has multiple dendrites but only one axon. A detailed description of the cellular events leading to the establishment of axonal-dendritic polarity has been
