Figure 2. Control of F-actin and microtubule dynamics drive neuronal form and function.

Figure 2.

(A–C) Neuronal extension, shape, connectivity, and function (A) is driven by regulating the ability of single actin proteins (G-actin) to form filaments (F-actin) (B) and single alpha (α) and beta (β) tubulin proteins to form microtubules (C). (D) Signals from the cell surface, such as from different guidance cues and their receptors control F-actin and microtubule (MT) dynamics through poorly understood means.
