Computer model of neurite outgrowth in a simplified neuron. A growth limiting resource is produced in the soma, transported through the neurites and consumed at the growth cones.
Model Type: Neuron or other electrically excitable cell
Model Concept(s): Simplified Models; Development
Simulation Environment: Python
Implementer(s): Hjorth, Johannes [hjorth at csc.kth.se]
