Phosphorylation Pattern of tau Associated with Distinct Changes of the Growth Cone Cytoskeleton

  • Chapter
Guidance Cues in the Developing Brain

Part of the book series: Progress in Molecular and Subcellular Biology ((PMSB,volume 32))

Abstract

That both axons and dendrites grow at specialized terminations called growth cones was recognized already by Santiago Ramon y Cajal (Ramon y Cajal 1890). After inventing the technique of tissue culture, Ross G. Harrison confirmed Cajal’s inference that growth cones represent the elongating tips of axons and first described a living growth cone that is moving by local extension and retraction (Harrison 1907).
