The process by which a cell in a multicellular organism interprets its surroundings. The process by which a neuronal cell in a multicellular organism interprets its surroundings. The recognition of molecules at the central nervous system midline choice point by an axon growth cone; this choice point determines whether the growth cone will cross the midline. The process by which the migration of an axon growth cone is directed to a specific target site in response to a combination of attractive and repulsive cues. The process whose specific outcome is the progression of a neuron over time, from initial commitment of the cell to a specific fate, to the fully functional differentiated cell. The recognition of molecules at a choice point by an axon growth cone; at a choice point the growth cone determines the direction of its future growth. The directed, self-propelled movement of a cellular component without the involvement of an external agent such as a transporter or a pore. Generation of a long process of a neuron, that carries efferent (outgoing) action potentials from the cell body towards target cells.
