“The axon carries nerve impulses from the brain to the muscles, allowing for precise and coordinated movements.”

“An orthodromic impulse runs along an axon in its normal direction, away from the soma.”

“If the axon reorients towards or away from the pipette it suggests that the molecule acts chemotropically to influence axon behavior.”

“In some few cells the axone breaks up into branches in the immediate neighbourhood of its own perikaryon in the cortex.”

“In most cases, however, the axone runs off into the subjacent white matter, leaving the cortex altogether.”

“In the dog, an animal with high olfactory sense, the axone of each olfactory neurone is connected with five or six mitral cells.”

“The axon counts were extrapolated by using the area algorithm to estimate the total number of axons for each nerve.”

“It is argued that many aspects of the composition and dispersal properties of Myxicola axoplasm are similar to those in other axons.”

“Neurons grow cordlike extensions called axons and dendrites, collectively called neurites, that attach to other neurons.”
