The Localization and Size of Cerebral Infarction in Wernicke Aphasia: A Retrospective VBM Study

Figure 1: Structure of microtubules.Microtubules are polimers of 13 protofilaments, formed by polimers of tubulin.Tubulin is a dimer formed by α-and β-tubuline, two similar proteins with a carboxy-terminal domain, a nucleotide-binding domain (GDP or GTP) and a taxol binding site.α-Tubulin will be the minus-end and β-tubulin the plus-end.Growth and shrinkage are performed at the plus-end, as microtubules are bound to microtubule organizing centers (MTOC) at the minus-end.
