Weak electric fields serve as guidance cues that direct retinal ganglion cell axons in vitro

Growing axons are directed by an extracellular electric field in a process known as galvanotropism. The electric field is a predominant guidance cue directing retinal ganglion cell (RGC) axons to the future optic disc during embryonic development. Specifically, the axons of newborn RGCs grow along t...
