Abstract: Dendrites and axons grow from the cell body of neurons, and have to make the right connections. Growth is directed by various repulsive or attractant factors. One such factor is semaphorin 3A, and it now emerges that this molecule acts as a dendrite attractant as well as an axon repellant for pyramidal cells in the cerebral cortex.
