Talk:Axon guidance

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

For a reference, I found this fairly detailed page, but I'm not wiki-savvy enough to cite it properly.

[edit] Hi

Hi Is Axon Guidance a biology or physics problem? Is there any way that you could class it as phyiscs becuase of the methods people use to try to solve it (eg large compter models)?

I know this is a weird question but its been listed on the unsolved problems in physics page

Thanks

I think it's MAINLY a biology problem because it's about a biological system (cells in the nervous system etc.) There have been efforts to elucidate the mechanisms and pathways involved in this process by physicists and informaticians as well. They construct models and exemplary systems to analyse the issue. Maybe that's why it is an "unsolved problem in physics": They think about it, too! :) --91.10.240.37 (talk) 17:47, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
