- If the entire surface of an axon were insulated, action potentials could not be regenerated along the axon resulting in signal degradation.
- The axon can synapse onto a dendrite, onto a cell body, or onto another axon or axon terminal, as well as into the bloodstream or diffusely into the adjacent nervous tissue.
- LNGFR also activates a caspase-dependent signaling pathway that promotes developmental axon pruning, and axon degeneration in neurodegenerative disease.
- Action potentials travel faster in a larger axon than a smaller one, and squid have evolved the giant axon to improve the speed of their escape response.
- The survival of some sensory neurons depends on axon terminals making contact with sources of survival factors that prevent apoptosis.
- An axo-axonic synapse is a type of synapse, formed by one neuron projecting its axon terminals onto another neuron’s axon.
- The axon hillock also delineates separate membrane domains between the cell body and axon.
- Magnocellular neurosecretory cells in rats (where these neurons have been most extensively studied) in general have a single long varicose axon, which projects to the posterior pituitary.
- FMI-1’s extracellular domain influences follower axon navigation throughout the mediation of pioneer - follower axon adhesion and its intracellular domain is necessary for signal transduction for pioneer axon navigation.
- The surge of depolarization traveling from the axon hillock to the axon terminal is known as an action potential.
- Most neurons receive signals via the dendrites and soma and send out signals down the axon.
- The Mauthner cell axon hillock is surrounded by a dense formation of neuropil, called the axon cap.
