Increase in Growth Cone Size Correlates with Decrease in Neurite Growth Rate

Figure 2

Correlation between P domain size and growth rate. (a) DIC images of examples of a large growth cone (upper panels) and two small growth cones (lower panels) imaged at 53 h (left) and 56.5 h (right), respectively. (b) Plot of growth rate against P domain size for individual growth cones (). Spearman correlation coefficient and value for all growth cones included are shown. Inset shows the data for growth cones with P domain smaller than 100 μm². Data is representative of two independent experiments. Scale bar: 10 μm.
