Branching Morphogenesis of Neuronal Dendrites
25 juin - 14h00 - 23h59
Centre de recherche - Orsay
Salle polyvalente du Bâtiment 111
Campus universitaire, Orsay (91)
Description
Branched dendritic arbors support the high connectivity of the nervous system by providing a large surface area for synaptic or sensory inputs. An outstanding question is how molecular processes - cytoskeletal and membrane transport - create dendritic structures as large as millimeters in extent, with branch characteristics - length, density and diameter - that are optimized for their biological function. We are studying this problem during fly development especially the role of microtubules and dynamic instability of dendrite growth.
