Fig. 13From: Stochastic Hybrid Systems in Cellular NeuroscienceSchematic diagram illustrating mRNA granule mobility in dendrites. Under basal conditions, most granules are either stationary (or exhibit localized oscillations), whereas a minority exhibit bidirectional transport. Depolarization by bathing in extracellular KCl solution activates transcription of mRNA at the cell body and converts existing stationary granules into anterograde granules [125]Back to article page
