Chapter 3 Forming neuronal networks

this paper may be relevant to all of the above fields, although it lies primarily within the computational neuroscience and artificial neural network fields. By modelling the growth cone, methods may be developed to allow a finer control on the way in which nerves can be artificially regenerated and manipulated. The following section describes the inner structure of the growth cone, and the mechanisms by which it is able to correctly guide the growing axon to its target.
