Interrogation of neuron-mediated morphogen signaling in the nervous system
FY 2008-09
Summary
The brain is the most complex organ in the human body, yet it originates from a very simple structure. We are interested in understanding the factors that guide the immature brain through a very complicated program of growth, neuron production and wiring that allows us to think, see and remember. To tackle this issue we are stuyding how neurons secrete factors to control development of discrete regions of the brain, in this instance the retina of the eye. We will study how these factors are produced and released from neurons and how they affect cell behaviour.

Abstract
The brain is the most complex organ in the human body, yet it originates from a very simple structure. We are interested in understanding the factors that guide the immature brain through a very complicated program of growth, neuron production and wiring that allows us to think, see and remember. To tackle this issue we are stuyding how neurons secrete factors to control development of discrete regions of the brain, in this instance the retina of the eye. We will study how these factors are produced and released from neurons and how they affect cell behaviour.
