The data convincingly show that the transcription factor Sp1 regulates ephrin-mediated axon guidance in the spinal cord. Although the authors show that Sp1 and its co-activators p300 and CBP are ...

We focus on axons navigating in the ventral nerve cord (VNC) of C. elegans. The VNC is the largest longitudinal axon bundle and contains interneuron and motor neuron axons that form the core of the ...

1 Motor Neurons A motor neuron’s cell body is also often located either in the spinal cord or the ... or other signals via receptors or through gap junctions (direct connections between two membranes) ...

Medically reviewed by Huma Sheikh, MD Neurons are cells in the body that are responsible for transmitting electrical signals through the nervous system. Different types of neurons affect the ability ...
