Neurobiology of Actin From Neurulation to Synaptic Function /

Neurons are characterized by a complex, dynamic and highly polarized morphology. Actin and its regulatory proteins are the most abundant set of proteins within cells, and they form one of the major cytoskeletal systems-the actin filament cytoskeleton. While much has been learned about the roles of t...
