Cannabinoids inhibit neuronal expansion and growth through the rapid contraction of actomyosin.

Reliable neuronal physiology can arise from variable and inefficient morphologies.

The Drosophila lateral horn, a higher olfactory brain area, contains >165 genetically defined cell types with stereotyped odour responses across animals and improved odor categorisation compared with their inputs.

The regulation of Phf6 by miR-128 is a developmental timing mechanism that influences cortical lamination, neuronal morphology and intrinsic excitability.

Animal-to-animal variability in neuronal geometry may be compensated for by compact electrotonic structure.

During development, lateral processes of retinal Müller glia are highly motile, and this motility persists when retinal waves and calcium transients are blocked, suggesting that Müller glial morphology is established independent of neuronal activity.

The first survey of the complete morphologies of nerve endings in the skin of mice has revealed enormous structural diversity.

A simple model of active transport in neurons allows intracellular cargo to find sites of demand using only local signals, but predicts long delays in distributing cargo throughout a dendritic tree.

The protein PTRN-1 anchors microtubules in neuronal branches to promote proper neuron morphology and function in Caenorhabditis elegans.

The kinase GSK-3 regulates cortical neuronal migration and dendritic orientation by phosphorylating key cytoskeletal proteins.
