Axons are in effect the primary transmission lines of the nervous system, and as bundles they help make up nerves.

Axons in the CNS typically model complex trees with several branch points.

Axons transmit signals to other neurons by means of specialized junctions called synapses.

The drink transforms children into Axons by " increasing the links between neurons in the brain "-in other words, the axons.

Axons are distinguished from dendrites by several features, including shape ( dendrites often taper while axons usually maintain a constant radius ), length ( dendrites are restricted to a small region around the cell body while axons can be much longer ), and function ( dendrites usually receive signals while axons usually transmit them ).

Axons from the olfactory sensory neurons converge in the olfactory bulb to form tangles called glomeruli ( singular glomerulus ).

Axons swell at some sites and are compressed at others, leading to a beaded appearance.

Axons contain microtubule-associated motor proteins that transport protein-containing vesicles between the soma and the synapses at the axon terminals.

Axons following the posterior pathway turn dorsally from the midline at the posterior side of the thalamus, entering the thalamus from various positions.

Axons frequently travel through the body in bundles called nerves.

Axons and dendrites in the central nervous system are typically only about one micrometer thick, while some in the peripheral nervous system are much thicker.

Axons are stretched and damaged when parts of the brain of differing density slide over one another.

Axons from the facial nerve loop around the abducens nucleus, creating a slight bulge ( the facial colliculus ) that is visible on the dorsal surface of the floor of the fourth ventricle.

Axons from the lower body are most medial ( closer to the midline ), and run in the gracile tract of the spinal column.

Axons first cross midline in the spinal cord and run in the ventral border of the lateral funiculi.

Axons leaving the ventral cochlear nucleus ( VCN ) form a broad pathway that crosses under the brain stem in the trapezoid body.

Axons leaving the dorsal cochlear nucleus ( DCN ) form the dorsal acoustic stria, which reaches primarily the contralateral dorsal nucleus of the lateral lemniscus and the central nucleus of the inferior colliculus.

The Axons land on Earth, desperately in need of fuel.

* The Axons reappear in the Eleventh Doctor Doctor Who Magazine comic strip " The Golden Ones ", beginning in issue # 425.

Axons often follow very precise paths in the nervous system, and how they manage to find their way so accurately is being researched.

Axons following the anterior route pass laterally in the subthalamus and enter the external medullary lamina.
