The process by which a neuronal cell in a multicellular organism interprets its surroundings. 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 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 of a pyramidal cell that is part of the corticospinal tract is directed to cross the midline to the contralateral side. 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.
