Abstract excerpt
Excitatory and inhibitory neuronal cell fates require specific expression of both neurotransmitter and morphological phenotypes. The role of the F-actin cytoskeleton in morphological phenotypes has been well documented, but its role in neurotransmitter phenotype expression remains unknown. Here we present evidence that the F-actin binding protein cortactin participates in determining both aspects of cell fate in...
