The paper reconstructs growth cones of callosal projection neurons in the developing mouse brain and finds they have a planar, dorsoventrally oriented morphology with filopodia that precede accelerated axon growth.

The paper characterizes pyroptosis using secretome profiling and morphology analysis, revealing complex connections with apoptosis through machine learning models.

The paper shows that most axonal mitochondria in mammalian neurons lack mtDNA and do not produce ATP, contrasting with dendritic mitochondria.
