A remarkable feature of embryogenesis is the elaborate extension of axons by neurons to target cells in the nervous system and in other organs. This growth of nerve fibers often traces characteristic pathways to produce specific patterns of innervation. Such precise organization requires a high degree of regulation, and manipulations of embryonal and regenerating tissues have shown that axons are usually directed by cues within the environments through which they grow.1–4 This essay discusses how axons grow and examines two factors, cell-substratum adhesion and chemotactic responses, as principal environmental regulators of axonal growth. Discussion is restricted to tissue culture studies, because growing nerve fibers are more easily observed, manipulated, and subjected to high-resolution morphological and cytochemical studies in vitro than in vivo. In addition, potential extrinsic modulators of nerve fiber growth can be tested and thoroughly evaluated in vitro.
