Caption

Boundary formation by dual action of Netrin. When the glial cell cluster is distant from the neuron cluster, glia is attracted to neuron by the gradient of low Netrin concentration (red arrows). When the glial cell cluster overlaps the neuron cluster, glia is repelled by neuron due to high Netrin concentration at the interface (magenta arrows) forming a sharp boundary.
