Growth cone morphology and trajectory in the lumbosacral region of the chick embryo [PDF]
We quantitatively analyzed several features of orthogradely labeled peripheral growth cones in the lumbosacral region of the chick embryo. We compared motoneuron growth cones in regions where they appear to express specific directional preferences (the plexus region and regions where muscle nerves diverge from main nerve trunks), which we operationally
