Pathway selection by growth cones in the zebrafish central nervous system.

Abstract excerpt

The accessibility and simplicity of the zebrafish embryo have led to a detailed characterization of pathfinding by identifiable growth cones in both the spinal cord and brain. These growth cones follow precise, cell-specific pathways to their targets. Analyses of pathfinding in mutant embryos and wild-type embryos following laser ablation or transplantation of specific cells demonstrate that growth cones...
