Branching Morphogenesis of Neuronal Dendrites

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.
