abstract：:Calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) can be regulated by synaptic activity and could therefore be involved in activity-dependent control of neuronal growth. We tested whether increased CaMKII activity in postsynaptic optic tectal neurons can modify the development of retinotectal axons in Xenopus. T...
