Abstract excerpt
On their way toward their synaptic targets, motor growth cones encounter multiple choice points, where they are confronted with trajectory choices. We have previously shown that the zebrafish unplugged gene acts as a somite-derived cue controlling pathway choice of primary motor axons. Here, we demonstrate that this trajectory choice is not exclusively controlled by a single unplugged-dependent process, but...
