  Subcellular transcriptomes and proteomes of developing axon projections in the cerebral cortex

  A subcellular sorting approach enables quantitative analysis of subtypes of growth cones in the brain, and reveals subcellular relationships between local mRNA and local proteomes in developing projection neurons.

  Teneurin-3 controls topographic circuit assembly in the hippocampus

  The transmembrane protein teneurin-3 is expressed in multiple topographically interconnected areas of the hippocampal region and acts in both projection and target neurons to control wiring specificity from CA1 to the subiculum.

  Floor-plate-derived netrin-1 is dispensable for commissural axon guidance

  Preventing netrin secretion from floor-plate cells at the midline does not disrupt axonal guidance; commissural axons develop normally and the data suggest that netrin may influence axons locally by promoting growth cone adhesion.
