摘要:
Neural connectivity and morphology are regulated by a wide range of extracellular and intracellular mechanisms during development and in the adult nervous system. We have recently investigated cues that regulate laminar organization of neural projections in both the vertebrate visual system and the Drosophila central brain. Further, it is becoming apparent that related guidance cues also regulate of synaptic plasticity. I will discuss our efforts to define signaling events that influence connectivity and plasticity, with a focus on semaphorin-mediated regulation of neural lamination and homeostatic plasticity.
