Bayesian model predicts the response of axons to molecular gradients.

Axon guidance by molecular gradients plays a crucial role in wiring up the nervous system. However, the mechanisms axons use to detect gradients are largely unknown. We first develop a Bayesian "ideal observer" analysis of gradient detection by axons, based on the hypothesis that a princip...
