TL;DR
The hypothesis that neuronal processes underlying more subtle aspects of axon growth and synaptogenesis may be down-regulated chronically in mature neurons is suggested.
Abstract
The brain's default mode network consists of discrete, bilateral and symmetrical cortical areas, in the medial and lateral parietal, medial prefrontal, and medial and lateral temporal cortices of the human, nonhuman primate, cat, and rodent brains. Its ...Read More

Trends in NeurosciencesHippocampal synaptic enhancement and information storage within a distributed memory system
1,336 Citations1987Bruce L. McNaughton, Richard Morris
A simple neuronal model capable of superimposing multiple memory traces within the same matrix of connections is outlined, and the correspondence between such models and the properties of LTE in the context of the hippocampal circuitry in which it occurs is considered.
The Journal of Cell BiologyThe slow component of axonal transport. Identification of major structural polypeptides of the axon and their generality among mammalian neurons.
937 Citations1975Paul N. Hoffman, Raymond J. Lasek
The demonstration on SDS gels that the slow component of axonal transport is composed of a small number of polypeptides which have identical molecular weights in neurons from different mammalian species suggests that these polypePTides comprise fundamental structures of vertebrate neurons.
Annual Review of NeuroscienceLong-Term Potentiation
802 Citations1987Timothy J. Teyler, Pascal DiScenna
The available evidence suggests that L TP does occur in conjunction with behavioral learning-although whether it is necessary and sufficient is far from certain.
Journal of NeuroscienceBinocular impulse blockade prevents the formation of ocular dominance columns in cat visual cortex
692 Citations1986Michael P. Stryker, WA Harris
Assays indicated that retinal blockade completely blocked the formation of ocular dominance columns, unlike any of the control procedures, suggesting that the spontaneous maintained discharge of retinal ganglion cells may have an important role in the normal development of binocular connections in the visual cortex.
NaturePotentiation of synaptic transmission in the hippocampus by phorbol esters
641 Citations1986Robert C. Malenka, Daniel V. Madison +1 more
It is found that phorbol esters profoundly potentiate excitatory synaptic transmission in the hippocampus in a manner that appears indistinguishable from LTP, which raises the possibility that, in mammalian brain, PKC plays a role in controlling the release of neurotransmitter and may be involved in the generation of LTP.
Proceedings of the National Academy of SciencesIntraterminal injection of synapsin I or calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II alters neurotransmitter release at the squid giant synapse.
641 Citations1985R. Llinás, T L McGuinness +3 more
The hypothesis that synapsin I regulates the availability of synaptic vesicles for release is supported and it is proposed that calcium entry into the nerve terminal activates calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II, which phosphorylates synapin I on site II, dissociating it from the vesicle and thereby removing a constraint in the release process.
The Journal of Cell BiologyAxonally transported proteins associated with axon growth in rabbit central and peripheral nervous systems
586 Citations1981JHP Skene, Mark Willard
Comparisons of rapidly transported proteins in growing and nongrowing axons in rabbits suggest that the neuronal growth state can be defined as an altered program of gene expression exemplified in part by the expression of GAP genes whose products are involved in critical growth-specific functions.

The Journal of Cell BiologyChanges in axonally transported proteins during axon regeneration in toad retinal ganglion cells.
494 Citations1981J. H. Pate Skene, Mark Willard
The modulation of these proteins after axotomy is consistent with the possibility that they are involve in growth-specific functions and that the altered expression of a small number of genes is a crucial regulatory event in the transition of a mature neuron to a growth state.
Journal of NeuroscienceA protein associated with axon growth, GAP-43, is widely distributed and developmentally regulated in rat CNS
434 Citations1986R D Jacobson, Ildikó Virág +1 more
It is proposed that some step(s) in axon growth require production of GAP-43, and perhaps a small number of other “growth-associated proteins,” at rates much higher than those typical of mature neurons, and this hypothesis predicts that virtually all neurons synthesize G AP-43 at elevated levels during normal CNS development.
NatureDifferential expression of neurofilament triplet proteins in brain development
395 Citations1982Gerry Shaw, Klaus Weber
It is shown that the 200K protein is under separate developmental control during rat brain differentiation and that the time of its expression differs in different regions, suggesting that this protein probably has a more specialized role in neurofilament architecture and function than the other two triplet proteins.
Journal of NeuroscienceAnatomical distribution of the growth-associated protein GAP-43/B-50 in the adult rat brain
390 Citations1988Larry I. Benowitz, PJ Apostolides +3 more
This distributional pattern raises the question of whether synapses in all areas containing high levels of GAP-43/B-50 are capable of undergoing functional plasticity, or whether the protein may function in some of these areas in some other capacity.

292 Citations1985Kentaro Murakami, Aryeh Routtenberg
This work has suggested that another mechanism may exist for protein kinase C activation, in addition to phospholipase C/phosphatidylinositol turnover signaling, possibly via the liberation of cis fatty acids by the Ca2+‐dependent phospholIPase A2 system.

273 Citations1987JW Lichtman, Lorenzo Magrassi +1 more
Overall terminal growth occurred at many endplates; however, the branching pattern of presynaptic arbors was largely unchanged, even after several months, which concludes that most neuromuscular junctions in the adult mouse are stable over intervals that represent a significant fraction of the animal's lifetime.

Experimental NeurologyProteins of fast axonal transport in regenerating rat sciatic sensory axons: A conditioning lesion does not amplify the characteristic response to axotomy
16 Citations1987J.D. Redshaw, Mark A. Bisby
This research investigates whether the increased regeneration rate seen in conditioned rat sciatic sensory axons following a test lesion was associated with an amplification of the increase in growth-associated protein expression, and concludes that fast-transported proteins whose expression alters after axotomy are not involved in the regulation of the regeneration rate.
Regulation of Axon Growth and Cytoskeletal Development

The mature, steady-state axon is a temporally ephemeral collection of matter whose apparent constancy reflects a delicate balance between the continuous introduction of materials from the cell body by the process of axonal transport and their exit.

10 Citations1988Katherine Kalil, M.H. Perdew
Late outgrowth of the hamster pyramidal tract is also correlated with expression of another developmentally regulated protein, the high-molecular-weight neurofilament subunit (NF-H), which suggests that specific pathways may have a highly idiosyncratic time course for expression of neuro Filament subunits.
