Myopodia (postsynaptic filopodia) participate in synaptic target recognition.

Journal of neurobiology - 1 Apr 2003

Ritzenthaler Sarah, Chiba Akira

Abstract excerpt

Synaptic partner cells recognize one another by utilizing a variety of molecular cues. Prior to neuromuscular synapse formation, Drosophila embryonic muscles extend dynamic actin-based filopodia called "myopodia." In wild-type animals, myopodia are initially extended randomly from the muscle surface but become gradually restricted to the site of motoneuron innervation, a spatial redistribution we call...
