Filopodia are slender, finger-like plasma membrane protrusions. In neuronal cells, filopodia mature into specialized compartments including neurites, axon branches, and synapses. Consequently, filopodia are important for the formation of neuronal circuits during brain development. Primarily composed of parallel bundles of actin filaments, filopodia formation, stabilization, and dynamics are regulated by various proteins that associate with...
Supported by the British Neuroscience Association Alongside pizzas, this week we have an alumnus visiting from the University of St Andrews: Pierce Mullen: "Decoding Prediction Errors in the Inferior Olive: Evidence from Zebrafish" Internal models are key to sensorimotor control, allowing the brain to predict the sensory consequences of movement. When reality deviates from these...
