1 Bastiani, MichaelCentral projections of the stretch receptor neurons of crayfish: structure, variation, and postembryonic growthEach stretch receptor neuron (SR) of the crayfish abdomen projects from its peripherally located soma an axon that enters the CNS through the second nerve (N2) of its segmental ganglion. CoZ+ backfills of N2 revealed that this axon bifurcates, sending one branch to the brain and the other to the te...Abdomen; Axon; Ganglion1988
2 Bastiani, MichaelGuidance of neuronal growth cones in the grasshopper embryo. I. Recognition of a specific axonal pathway by the pCC neuronThe selective affinities that growth cones display for specific axonal surfaces give rise to stereotyped patterns of selective fasciculation. Previous studies on cell recognition by neuronal growth cones in the grasshopper embryo led to the proposal and initial experimental testing of the labeled-p...Fascicle; Axon; Affinity1986
3 Bastiani, MichaelGuidance of neuronal growth cones in the grasshopper embryo. II. Recognition of a specific axonal pathway by the aCC neuronIn the previous paper, we experimentally analyzed the selective affinity of the pCC growth cone for the MP1/dMP2 fascicle in the grasshopper embryo. Here we describe a similar experimental analysis demonstrating the selective affinity of the aCC growth cone for the U fascicle. These results support...Axon; Cell; Fascicle1986
4 Bastiani, MichaelGuidance of neuronal growth cones: selective fasciculation in the grasshopper embryoOne of the central questions of developmental neurobiology concerns how the diversity and specificity of individual neurons are generated during embryonic development. One major component of neuronal diversity is the complex axonal morphology of individual neurons, largely generated early in develop...Neurons; Filopodia; Axon1983
5 Bastiani, MichaelPathfinding by neuronal growth cones in grasshopper embryo: III. Selective affinity of the G growth cone for the P cells within the A/P fascicleThe growth cone of the G neuron selectively fasciculates upon specific axon bundles in a stereotypic sequence as it navigates through the developing central nervous system of the grasshopper embryo. It turns and extends anteriorly in the contralateral neuropil of the second thoracic ganglion at a s...Axon; Filopodia; Neuropil1984
6 Bastiani, MichaelRole of the cell surface in neuronal pathfindingPerhaps the organ of the human body that evokes the most astonishment, and yet is the least understood, is our brain. From the coordination of simple movements, to consciousness and thought, the function of the nervous system relies on the establishment of trillions of precise connections among the...Axon; molecular guidance code; growth cone1996
