... The speed of transmission is ~200 m/s in myelinated fibers, but only 0.5 m/s in non-myelinated fibers. The reason is that the nerve impulse "jumps" from node to node in myelinated fibers. In non-myelinated fiber, the nerve impulse must depolarize and repolarize each point along the nerve fiber. ...

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.
