Popis: Zinc is an essential micronutrient required for proper function during neuronal development because it can modulate neuronal function and structure. A fully functional description of zinc in axonal processing in the central nervous system remains elusive. Here, we define the role of intracellular zinc in axon formation and elongation, involving the mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1). To investigate the involvement of zinc in axon growth, we performed an ex vivo culture of mouse hippocampal neurons and administrated ZnCl
