During development, mitral cell axons, the major efferents of the olfactory bulb, exhibit a protracted waiting period in the lateral olfactory tract (LOT) before giving off collateral branches and innervating the target olfactory cortex. To investigate the target invasion mechanism, a series of hete

## Abstract Hepatocyte growth factor/Scatter factor (HGF/SF) is a multifunctional growth factor which can induce diverse biological events. In vitro, these include scattering, invasion, proliferation and branching morphogenesis. In vivo, HGF/SF is responsible for many processes during embryonic dev
## Abstract Electrical stimulation of crayfish giant axons at high frequency activates group II metabotropic and NMDA glutamate receptors on adjacent glial cells via release of Nβacetylaspartylglutamate and glutamate formed upon its hydrolysis. This produces a transient depolarization followed by a
Growth cones are highly motile structures at the end of neuronal processes, capable of receiving multiple types of guidance cues and transducing them into directed axonal growth. Thus, to guide the axon toward the appropriate target cell, the growth cone carries out different functions: it acts as a
## Abstract Olfactory ensheathing cells (OECs) accompany receptor axons in the olfactory nerve and promote axonal growth into the central nervous system. The mechanisms underlying the communication between axons and OECs, however, have not been studied in detail yet. We investigated the effect of a
