Aber Lenken Sie Auch? (But do they also guide?).
One of the most intriguing problems in developmental neurobiology is that of how growing axons find the correct way to their proper target cells. Often axonal connections are organized in topographic maps, where neighboring cells of the projecting area are connected to neighboring cells in the target area, thus allowing a faithful transfer of positionally stored information from one area to another. The retinotectal projection is the classical model system for studying topographic projections.
