Role of Acetylated Gangliosides on Neuronal Migration and Axonal Outgrowth

  • Chapter
The Visual System from Genesis to Maturity

Abstract

The establishment of form and pattern within the nevous system is dependent on cellular interactions that are initiated early in development. These interactions regulate cell proliferation and differentiation, cell migration, axonal growth and guidance, target recognition, and synapse formation. Over the past decade the analysis of these sequential developmental steps has advanced from the descriptive to the molecular level. In large part, progress has resulted from a better appreciation of the way in which developing neurons respond to their environment. Considerable attention has been focused on proteins that are involved in these responses. Thus, the amino acid sequences and functional domains of many cell surface adhesive and repulsive proteins are now relatively well understood.
