Filopodia on neuronal growth cones constantly extend and retract, thereby functioning as both sensory probes and structural devices during neuronal pathfinding. To better understand filopodial dynamics and their regulation by encounters with molecules in the environment, we investigated filopodial d
Several lines of evidence suggest that phosphorylation events play an important role in transducing neurite outgrowth signals. Here we tested if such phosphorylation events altered filopodial dynamics on neuronal growth cones and thereby might affect pathfinding decisions. The general protein kinase
