Axogenesis refers to the process by which new axons, the long and slender projections of neurons that transmit electrical impulses, grow and establish connections with other neurons. This process is crucial for the proper development and functioning of the nervous system, and understanding axogenesis is essential for studying various neurological disorders. During embryonic development, the nervous system is formed by the proliferation of precursor cells that differentiate into neurons and glial cells. As these neurons mature, they extend axons towards their target cells, guided by a variety of molecular cues.
