(2014) Regulatory mechanisms underlying the differential growth of dendrites and axons [[Media:2014_--_Regulatory_mechanisms_underlying_the_differential_growth_of_dendrites_and_axons.pdf]

"Recent studies have uncovered two distinct types of regulatory mechanisms that differentiate dendritic and axonal growth: dedicated mechanisms and bimodal mechanisms. Dedicated mechanisms regulate either dendrite- specific or axon-specific growth; in contrast, bimodal mechanisms direct dendritic and axonal development in opposite manners."

Ashwagandha

Axon (or dendrite) predominant outgrowth induced by constituents from Ashwagandha

"results suggest that axons are predominantly extended by withanolide A, and dendrites by withanosides IVand VI."
