Y1 - 2021 N1 - T2 - Principles of Neural Science, 6e AB - IN THE TWO PRECEDING CHAPTERS, we saw how neurons are generated in appropriate numbers, at correct times, and in the right places. These early developmental steps set the stage for later events that direct neurons to form functional connections with target cells. To form connections, neurons have to extend long processes—axons and dendrites—which permit connectivity with postsynaptic cells and synaptic input from other neurons. In this chapter, we examine how neurons elaborate axons and dendrites and how axons are guided to their targets.
