PROTOCADHERINS MEDIATE DENDRITIC SELF-AVOIDANCE IN THE MAMMALIAN NERVOUS SYSTEM

Dendritic arbors of many neurons are patterned by a process called self-avoidance, in which branches arising from a single neuron repel each other(1-7). By minimizing gaps and overlaps within the arbor, self-avoidance facilitates complete coverage of a neuron’s territory by its neurites(1-3). Remark...
