DAVID PRINCE, DEPARTMENT OF NEUROLOGY & NEUROLOGICAL SCIENCES
Attend Dr. Prince's pre-seminar presentation, "To prune or not to prune?", to learn more about Dr. Beth Stevens's seminar, "How Microglia Prune Synapses in Health & Disease", to be held Thursday, October 6th.
BETH STEVENS, BOSTON CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL AND HARVARD MEDICAL SCHOOL
One of the major unsolved mysteries in neuroscience is how synapses are eliminated in the developing and diseased brain. During development synaptic pruning is required for precise brain wiring; however the mechanisms that drive the elimination of specific synapses remain elusive. Emerging evidence implicates resident phagocytes called microglia, and molecules traditionally associated with the immune system.
