Abstract: During development, some axons cross the midline of the central nervous system whereas others don't. Those that do not cross express high levels of a protein called Robo, and it has long been thought that Robo may be the receptor for a midline repellent. That repellent has now been identified, and it is the product of a previously identified gene.
