Abstract:During development, neurons extend in search of synaptic partners. Precise control of axon extension velocity can therefore be crucial to ensuring proper circuit formation. How velocity is regulated - particularly by the extending axons themselves - remains poorly understood. Here, we investigate this question in the Drosophila visual system, where photoreceptors make precise connections with a specific set of synaptic partners that together create a circuit underpinning neural superposition (NSP). We used a c… Show more
