Frage 13
Frage
Is this statement true?
Axons, dendrites and migrating neuroblasts rely on a part of their cells called 'filopodia' in order to guide them to the area they need to be.
Frage 14
Frage
Synaptogenesis occurs when the filapodia reach the right location, What adhesion molecules stablise the contact between filopodia and passing axons?
Antworten
-
Beta-neurexin
-
Neuroligin-1
-
Alpha-neurexin
-
Neuroligin-2
Frage 15
Frage
What will happen if the filopodia reaches an axon that is not complimentary?
Antworten
-
The filopodia will retract
-
The filopodia will still bind, it just won't be active
-
binding still occurs and the neuron will still be active.
