Nerve cells use each other as maps

When nerve cells form in an embryo they don’t start off in the right place but have to be guided to their final position by navigating a kind of molecular and cellular “map” in order to function properly. In a recent research, authors report that during embryonic development, different parts of the nerve cell are important for guiding other nerve cells into their physical positions.
