Peripheral nerves are divided into multiple branches leading to divergent synaptic targets. This poses a remarkable challenge for regenerating axons as they select their original trajectory at nerve branch-points. Despite implications for functional regeneration, the molecular mechanisms underlying target selectivity are not well characterized. Danio Rerio (zebrafish) motor nerves are composed of a ventral and a dorsal branch that diverge at a choice-point, and we have previously shown that regenerating axons faithfully select their original branch and targets. Here we identify Robo2 as a key regulator of target-selective regeneration (sex of experimental subjects unknown). We demonstrate that Robo2 function in regenerating axons is required and sufficient to drive target-selective regeneration, and that Robo2 acts in response to glia located precisely where regenerating axons select the branch-specific trajectory to prevent and correct axonal errors. Combined our results reveal a glia derived mechanism th...Dec 16, 2021
