Growth cones sense guidance signals in their environment and "steer" growing axons. (references)

The tip of a growing axon forms a specialized structure called a growth cone. These growth cones sense cues, integrate that information, and make choices that steer the axon in one direction or another. (references)

When researchers blocked this growth inhibitor with an antibody called IN-1, which binds to and masks the factor from growth cones, severed axons began extending past the oligodendrocytes and reconnecting with their targets. (references)
