Pathway selection by growth cones in the zebrafish central nervous system.
Perspectives on developmental neurobiology - 1 Jan 1993
Kuwada J Y
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...
