Abstract excerpt
Motor axons in the trunk of the developing zebrafish exit from the ventral spinal cord in one ventral root per hemisegment and grow on a common path toward the region of the horizontal myoseptum, where they select their specific pathways. Tenascin-C, a component of the extracellular matrix, is concentrated in this choice region. Adaxial cells and other myotomal cells express tenascin-C mRNA, suggesting that these...
