Biological process

Exact synonym

anterior-posterior axon guidance, anterior/posterior axon pathfinding

Description

The process in which the migration of an axon growth cone is directed to a specific target site along the anterior-posterior body axis in response to a combination of attractive and repulsive cues. The anterior-posterior axis is defined by a line that runs from the head or mouth of an organism to the tail or opposite end of the organism.
