The process by which a neuronal cell in a multicellular organism interprets its surroundings. The directed movement of a motile cell or organism, or the directed growth of a cell guided by a specific chemical concentration gradient. Movement may be towards a higher concentration (positive chemotaxis) or towards a lower concentration (negative chemotaxis). The process by which a neuronal cell in a multicellular organism interprets signals produced by potential target cells, with which it may form synapses. The directed movement of a motile cell or organism, or the directed growth of a cell guided by a higher concentration, in a concentration gradient of a specific chemical. The process by which a neuronal cell in a multicellular organism recognizes chemoattractant signals from, and grows towards, potential targets.
