Axonal signals in the assembly of neural circuitry.
Recent work in Drosophila and rodents has revealed that proteins transported along axons and delivered to pathway and target cell populations play important roles in the construction of neural circuitry. Interestingly, the parallels between these systems may extend to the identities of some of the molecules involved.
