Studying Dscam function in synaptic connectivity at single cell level. KU Leuven
Axonal branching is an essential mechanism in nervous system function, as it allows a single neuron to connect to multiple post-synaptic targets and thus increases the complexity and connectivity of neural networks. Collateral formation could be a therapeutic target to promote functional recovery in a wide range of nervous system diseases and injuries. However, the mechanisms allowing the formation and stabilization of specific ...
