Description
Grow your neuron as long as possible by clicking on protein targets.
You can only click on protein targets within your circle of influence but you need to be quick as it decreases over time.
Oh one more thing...beware of the rival red neurons that compete with you for available protein targets.
'Axon' uses real features of neuron development in the foetal brain. Neurons make connections by growing a single axon to contact other cells and use protein targets to navigate.
Your brain is an amazing organ, with around 100 billion neurons and 100 trillion connections.
How to Play
Grow your neuron as long as possible by using your mouse to click on protein targets within your circle of influence.
Click on the special pink, green, yellow and blue protein targets for a range of power ups.
Beware of the rival red neurons that compete with you for available protein targets.
Developer Updates
30th March Update:
We hope to have fixed issue whereby occasionally green and yellow power-ups sometimes took you to a dead end.

it'll be cool if we can see the structure of axon we've just build at the end of the game

Those moments when a red nerve suddenly appears on the only single string path possible to travel on... -.-

For anyone wondering, the longest nerve in the body is the Sciatic nerve, which can be as long as 35 inches in length.
That's 889,000 ฮผm. Get cracking, folks.
