While the neural architecture responsible for the transmission of electrical impulses has been known for more than a century, the basic biology behind how a neuron acquires its one and only axon -- a fundamental component of how neurons communicate -- remains a mystery. Now researchers describe the genetic switches that ignite axon formation. Their work focuses on two molecular components.
