Guidance of neuronal growth cones in the grasshopper embryo. I. Recognition of a specific axonal pathway by the pCC neuron
MJ Bastiani, S du Lac and CS Goodman
The selective affinities that growth cones display for specific axonal
surfaces give rise to stereotyped patterns of selective fasciculation.
Previous studies on cell recognition by neuronal growth cones in the
grasshopper embryo led to the proposal and initial experimental testing of
the labeled-pathways hypothesis. Here we report on a further experimental
analysis of this hypothesis, using the first 3 longitudinal axon fascicles,
which initially contain only the axons of 7 identified neurons. We describe
and experimentally test the selective affinity of the pCC growth cone for
the MP1 and dMP2 axons in the MP1/dMP2 fascicle. The pCC growth cone
appears to demonstrate an absolute, rather than hierarchical, preference
for the MP1/dMP2 fascicle, as compared with other longitudinal axon
fascicles, which supports the notion that the surfaces of the MP1 and dMP2
axons have some special distinguishing label that guides the pCC growth
cone onto and along them.
