Funded Activity Summary

Inappropriate development and function of neuronal circuits is a universal feature of neurological disorders of cognition such as Down syndrome, autism spectrum disorders and Fragile X mental retardation, epilepsy, schizophrenia and Alzheimer�s disease. In these diseases, neurons exhibit abnormal neuronal branches (dendrites) and abnormal connections on dendritic spines. This research is aimed at understanding the mechanisms controlling dendrite development that underpin proper neuronal wiring.
