6.1. Summary
During recent years, a large body of evidence has accumulated regarding cellular
events and potential mechanisms underlying the development of specialized cellular
projections, namely axons and dendrites in mammalian neurons. Most of
these studies have focused on the regulation of cytoskeletal organization and
function during different stages of neuronal polarization. Much less effort has
been invested in analyzing how cytoskeletal assembly and dynamics are coordinately
coupled with membrane addition at sites of active growth or with membrane
formation and/or exit from the Golgi complex. In this article, we shall
review current evidence concerning the participation of the Golgi apparatus in
axon specification, one of the earliest events in neuronal polarization.
