Neurobiology: Frazzled precision guides axons
Roman J. Giger1 & Alex L. Kolodkin1
A functional nervous system depends on an intricate, finely tuned network of neuronal connections. During development, axons and dendrites, the specialized projections of a neuron, extend from the neuronal cell body over what are often long distances to establish contact with their targets.
- Roman J. Giger and Alex L. Kolodkin are in the Department of Neuroscience, The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, 725 North Wolfe Street, Baltimore, Maryland 21205, USA.
