Question

The figure below shows images from a video of a growing neuron in culture with another neuronal type for one hour. Write a descriptive figure legend for the figure, and in your legend include one specific type of protein (not a specific protein) the growing neuron could be interacting with at each time point (8 pts Group/4 pts Indiv) A. 1 pts 0.5 for protein type (Group) B. 2 pts+0.5 for protein type (Group) C. 1 pts+0.5 for protein type (Group) D. 2 pts+0.5 for protein type (Group) 07 60 min 10

Explanation / Answer

A. The above figure represents growth of a neuron in culture along with another neuron. The picture is captured at 0 minute and the two neurons are fart apart from each other.

B. Growth of neuron after 7 minutes in culture, the growing neuron has now migrated towards the other neuron and numerous dendrites extending from the cell body can be seen interacting with the axon of the other neuron.

C. Growth of neuron after 10 minutes in culture. The dendrites can be seen wrapping around the myelin sheath of other neuron. The Dendrites of growing neuron might be interacting with proteins present in myelin sheath of the second neuron.

D. Growth of neuron after 60 minutes in the culture. The growing neuron has developed a link with the second neuron (pointed by the arrow), and the cell body has now constricted.
