The patterning of the nervous system is achieved through coordinated action of a variety of
repulsive or attractive neuronal guidance factors that direct the growth of growing axons to
specific pathways. Recent studies suggest that the same or similar sets of factors also guide
migration of endothelial cells, helping to direct the stereotypical embryonic patterning of the
developing vertebrate vascular system.
