Toni N, Buchs PA, Nikonenko I, Bron CR, Muller D (1999) LTP promotes formation of multiple spine synapses between a single axon terminal and a dendrite.— PLoS Biology: New Articles
Draw two neurons and label the following parts: a. axon b. dendrite c. cell body d. myelin sheath e. synapse 3.— Recently Uploaded Slideshows
If the animals had a mutation in either one of these genes, Heiman and Shaham saw that even though the cell migrated normally away from the tip of the nose, the dendrite didn't stay anchored.
Instead, it dragged along behind the cell body, resulting in an abnormally short dendrite.
After the neuron drops anchor at the tip of the worm's nose, the cell body crawls away, stretching the dendrite out behind it as it goes.
