Mechanisms of Neuronal Morphogenesis - how does a neuron take its shape?

Frontiers in Interdisciplinary Biosciences Seminar

KANG SHEN, DEPARTMENTS OF BIOLOGY AND PATHOLOGY

The connectivity of a neuron (its unique constellation of synaptic inputs and outputs) is essential for its function. Neuronal connections are made with exquisite accuracy between specific types of neurons. How each neuron finds its synaptic partners has been a central question in developmental neurobiology.
