Separation of axons away from a bundle of axons known as a fascicle. Any biological process, occurring at the level of a multicellular organism, pertinent to its function. The process by which a cell in a multicellular organism interprets its surroundings. The collection of axons into a bundle of rods, known as a fascicle. The process by which a neuronal cell in a multicellular organism interprets its surroundings. 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 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. Any process that is carried out at the cellular level, but not necessarily restricted to a single cell. For example, cell communication occurs among more than one cell, but occurs at the cellular level. 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 process whereby a relatively unspecialized cell acquires specialized features of a neuron. The process whose specific outcome is the progression of the cell over time, from its formation to the mature structure. Cell development does not include the steps involved in committing a cell to a specific fate. The process by which dendrites recognize and avoid contact with sister dendrites from the same cell.
