Misregulation of these elementary processes are linked to various forms of neuropsychiatric disorders. Dysfunction of cytoskeletal remodeling may also underlie neurodegeneration in several intractable diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, while also impacting on the recovery from spinal cord injuries. In spite of a growing list of molecular players involved in the mechanisms of neuritogenesis, the compartmentalization of these signaling events to specific axodendritic segments of a neuron is not fully understood. Previously, we found that within the same kinase family, a membrane-anchored CaMKIγ promoted dendrite extension, while a cytoplasmic
