See paper by Heiman et al. Cell. 2009 Apr 17;137(2):344-55. Epub 2009 Apr 2. http://www.cell.com/abstract/S0092-8674%2809%2900159-7

Neuronal axons are known to form by growing out from a stationary cell body. Dendrites, in contrast, are now seen to form when a short directed migration of the cell body drags out a neurite that is anchored in place. Formation of the sensory dendrite (in red) as shown here, in a living C. elegans embryo depends on the tectorin-like DEX-1 and DYF-7 anchoring proteins.
