chemorepulsion of branchiomotor neuron axon in neural tube

Term ID

GO:0021787

Synonyms

• negative chemotaxis of branchiomotor neuron axon in neural tube

Definition

The process in which a branchiomotor neuron growth cone in the neural tube is directed to a specific target site in the neural tube in response to a repulsive chemical cue. Branchiomotor neurons are located in the hindbrain and innervate branchial arch-derived muscles that control jaw movements, facial expression, the larynx, and the pharynx. 14699587
