- Abstract
Neurons undergo various morphologic changes during development, including neuritogenesis, neurite outgrowth, neurite branching, and neurite retraction. Many studies have examined how microtubules (MTs) are reorganized or transported within the neurites of developing neurons and have revealed that MT dynamics are regulated by MT-interacting proteins and motor proteins, in concert with actin microfilaments. Here, I will describe recent progress in research on the behavior of MTs in the nervous system. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
