Evaluating tools for live imaging of structural plasticity at the axon initial segment
The axon initial segment (AIS) is a specialised neuronal compartment involved in the maintenance of axo-dendritic polarity and in the generation of action potentials. It is also a site of significant structural plasticity – manipulations of neuronal activity in vitro and in vivo can produce changes...
