From: The functional significance of fasciculation and repulsion in a computational model of axon growth

Figure 1

Example trajectories of commissural interneuron axons from the original model (A) and with fasciculation (B). There are a small number of "pioneer" axons (red), which grow earlier than the main group (blue). Axons start growing from the somas (top, stars) and grow ventrally to cross the mid-line (dorso-vental position 0µm), before turning to grow in the ascending direction (rostrally). Every axon also has a secondary branch which grows in the descending direction (pioneers: magenta, others: green).
