GROWTH CONE GUIDANCE: First Steps Towards a Deeper Understanding

Mueller, Bernhard K.·1999·Annual Review of Neuroscience

Abstract

▪ Abstract Growth cones, the hand-like structures at the tip of growing neurites, possess remarkable abilities to detect directional cues. On their way to their targets they traverse a dense jungle of many different cells, expressing a variety of different molecular guidance cues. Proper reading and integration of these cues is essential for precise wiring of different parts of the peripheral and central nervous systems. Guidance cues have been classified according to the response they elicit as either attractive or repulsive. Recent work, however, suggests that this might not represent an absolute distinction and that the internal state of the growth cone can dictate whether it detects a cue as repulsive or attractive. This article reviews some new experimental approaches to understanding growth cone signal transduction mechanisms induced by extracellular guidance cues.

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.
