AXON GROWTH: ROLES OF MICROFILAMENTS AND MICROTUBULES
Open accessAbstract
The motile tips of elongating axons consist of growth cones from which microspikes protrude. Cytochalasin B causes retraction of microspikes, rounding-up of growth cones, and cessation of axon elongation. Drug withdrawal is followed by resumption of growth cone and microspike activity and of axon elongation. In contrast, colchicine causes shortening and retraction of axons, but it does not initially affect the tips. Growth cones and microspikes of elongating axons contain a network of 50 Å microfilaments, the pattern of which is altered by cytochalasin treatment. These experiments indicate that both structural integrity of the axon and continuing function of its motile tip are essential elements in axonal elongation.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
