Abstract
Axonal growth or regeneration is dependent upon a combination of intrinsic neuronal and extrinsic environmental factors. The interplay of these factors determines whether an axon grows, reaches an appropriate target and forms functional connections with that target. While many studies have focused on axonal growth and the factors necessary for that growth, relatively fewer studies, until recently, have addressed the question of how axons stop growing.
