Neural crest cells that migrate along the ventral or dorsolateral pathways originate from the same location within the neural crescent. What type of molecules determines the migration path? Where are these molecules located?

Step 1
These molecules include chemorepellents and chemoattractants, which either repel or attract the neural crest cells, respectively. They also include contact-mediated molecules that allow the cells to adhere to certain surfaces or repel from others. Show more…

Neural crest cells and migrating axons are similar in that they: - both extend microtubule-filled filopodial "feelers" into the environment to pull the cell forward - both utilize chemoattractants in the environment to move in the right direction - both use RhoGTPases to regulate the growth of filopodia
