Abstract
Differentiating neurons send their axons over long distances to terminate on select populations of target cells. Mechanisms of axonal guidance have been debated since the turn of the century but remain unresolved today. This paper discusses some of the recent work and present issues in this diverse and rapidly expanding area of developmental neurobiology.Keywords
