... A Motor Neuron is a specialised nerve cell that has the main purpose to carry a message from the CNS to a muscle cell. Motor Neurons send short pulses which produce a twitch in the body, if these twitches become so fast, they produce smooth movement of the body which is known as Tetanus. Motor Neuro ...

Axon guidance

Axon guidance (also called axon pathfinding) is a subfield of neural development concerning the process by which neurons send out axons to reach the correct targets. Axons often follow very precise paths in the nervous system, and how they manage to find their way so accurately is being researched.
