"Axon Guidance" is a descriptor in the National Library of Medicine's controlled vocabulary thesaurus,
MeSH (Medical Subject Headings). Descriptors are arranged in a hierarchical structure,
which enables searching at various levels of specificity.
The mechanism by which a neuronal process outgrows toward a target led by the GROWTH CONE. Local guidance cues are provided by cell surface proteins that act on the growing axon.
