Precise navigation of axons is crucial to establish in vivo neuronal networks. It relies on proper guidance of the growth cone (GC), an actin-rich dynamic structure located at the axonal tip. In vivo, axons ofter progress toward their target by forming bundles. In this study, we use a microfluidic chip composed of axonal microchannels of various widths to induce and study the phenomenon of fasciculation. We show that bundles are built from two populations of axons, i.e. pioneers and followers, characterized by distinct behaviors and GC morphologies. Pioneer axons display an explorative behavior, characterized by a discontinuous growth due to alternance of advancing and pausing periods, while follower axons exhibit a higher growth rate with ...
