Newly generated neurons initiate polarizing signals that specify a single axon and multiple dendrites, a process critical for patterning neuronal circuits in vivo. Here, we report that the pan-neurotrophin receptor p75NTRis a polarity regulator that localizes asymmetrically in differentiating neurons in response to neurotrophins and is required for specification of the future axon. In cultured hippocampal neurons, local exposure to neurotrophins causes early accumulation of p75NTRinto one undifferentiated neurite to specify axon fate. Moreover, knockout or knockdown of p75NTRresults in failure to initiate an axon in newborn neurons upon cell-cycle exit in vitro and in the developing cortex, as well as during adult hippocampal neurogenesis in vivo. Hence, p75NTRgoverns neuronal polarity, determining pattern and assembly of neuronal circuits in adult hippocampus and cortical development.Video Abstract
