Symmetry Breaking in Neuronal Development
Many physical systems break symmetry in their evolution. Biophysical systems, such as cells, developing organisms, and even entire populations, are no exception. Developing neurons represent a striking example of a biophysical system that breaks symmetry: neurons cultured in vitro begin as cell bodi...
