... of antibodies against nervous system molecules on growth cone behavior, neurite outgrowth and tissue organization in vivo and in vitro . Antibodies against chicken cognin and N-CAM inhibit cell-cell adhesion ( Hausman and Moscona, 1979 ; Thiery et al . 1977 , respectively) and anti-N-CAM disrupts axonal...

...K. A. Green; B. Powell; G. A. Cottrell ABSTRACT Unitary potassium (K + ) currents of several different conductances have been recorded from the growth cones of isolated Cl neurones from Helix aspersa. The isolated neurones were maintained in culture for up to 1 week. Similar unitary currents were...

... have shown that motor axons are directed in their growth, ( a ) The filopodia of their growth cones sample a limited region of the periphery. If motor growth cones extend too far from their normal pathways they establish connections with inappropriate muscles, ( b ) Motor growth cones normally extend...
