![]() | Jorgensen, Erik | Genetic screens for synaptic function mutants in the nematode C. elegans | The synapse is the site of a remarkable conversion of electrical signals into chemical signals. This conversion takes place when a depolarizing impulse enters the axon terminal and opens voltage-sensitive calcium channels; calcium then flows into the cell and initiates the fusion of synaptic vesicle... | Vesicle; Neurotransmission; Cell | 1996 |

![]() | Bastiani, Michael | Guidance of neuronal growth cones in the grasshopper embryo. II. Recognition of a specific axonal pathway by the aCC neuron | In 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; Fascicle | 1986 |

![]() | Bastiani, Michael | Pathfinding by neuronal growth cones in grasshopper embryos I. Divergent choices made by the growth cones of sibling neurons | We are interested in how the growth cones of identified neurons navigate in the central nervous system of the grasshopper embryo. The behavior of identified growth cones was observed as a function of developmental time by (i) periodically removing embryos from synchronized clutches of eggs and (i... | Neuropil; Axonal; Cell | 1983 |
