Mechanism of Axonal Contractility in Embryonic Drosophila Motor Neurons In Vivo

Several in vitro and limited in vivo experiments have shown that neurons maintain a rest tension along their axons intrinsically. They grow in response to stretch but contract in response to loss of tension. This contraction eventually leads to the restoration of the rest tension in axons. However,...
