There is no physical contact between these neurons. The point at which the nerve impulse passes from one to another is the synapse. There are the j ...

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.
