“…The study of neuronal morphology remains important to many areas of basic neuroscience, including neuritogenesis (Da Silva and Dotti, 2002;Gupton and Gertler, 2010), development (Budd et al, 2010;Ristanovich et al, 2010), synaptogenesis and plasticity (Banker and Cowan, 1977;Krivosheya et al, 2008;Sutton and Schuman, 2006), as well as axon specification and polarity (de Anda et al, 2008;Dertinger et al, 2002;Fukata et al, 2002;Vogt et al, 2004). It is also critical for areas of applied neuroscience, including stem cell transplantation (Lanfer et al, 2010;Vergano-Vera et al, 2010) and the study of neuronal response to regeneration scaffolds that rely on novel biomaterials, the focus of our laboratory and that of many others (Chew et al, 2008;Corey et al, 2007Corey et al, , 2008Gertz et al, 2010;Kim et al, 2008;Wang et al, 2009;Johnson et al, 2010).…”
