Developmental downregulation of LIS1 expression limits axonal extension and allows axon pruning
The robust axonal growth and regenerative capacities of young neurons decrease substantially with age. This developmental downregulation of axonal growth may facilitate axonal pruning and neural circuit formation but limits functional recovery following nerve damage. While external factors influenci...
