Electric fields, contact guidance and the direction of nerve growth.

McCaig CD .


???displayArticle.abstract???
Nerve orientation in response to electrical guidance cues in one direction and contact guidance cues in an orthogonal direction has been studied. Where neurites had a free choice between following contact guidance cues or electrical cues, the direction of nerve growth was determined predominantly by the vector of the applied electric field.
