Three-color single molecule imaging shows WASP detachment from Arp2/3 complex triggers actin filament branch formation.

abstract：:Some cortical neurons receive highly selective thalamocortical (TC) input, but others do not. Here, we examine connectivity of single thalamic neurons (lateral geniculate nucleus, LGN) onto putative fast-spike inhibitory interneurons in layer 4 of rabbit visual cortex. We show that three 'rules' regulate this connecti...
