Soma statt Signale von außen: Wie Neuronen ihren Axon-Pfad auswählen – it boltwise

Researchers have uncovered a fundamental mechanism in developmental neurobiology that explains how neurons determine the path of their axons—the long, slender projections that carry electrical impulses to other cells. Contrary to long-standing theories that relied exclusively on external environmental guidance cues, recent findings indicate that the neuron’s cell body, or soma, plays a decisive role … Read more
