A model for nerve cell pattern formation is proposed in this paper. The model is based on some experimental results and an assumption that there is a kind of inhibitive interaction between growing neurites on the same nerve cell. In this paper, this interaction is termed lateral inhibition. A group of ordinary differential equations are used to describe the elongation of the terminal neurite segments of individual nerve cells. Computer simulation and comparison of it with in vitro studies are also made in this paper.
