Funded Activity Summary

The brain is made up of circuits of neurons that process specific information. For example, the somatosensory cortex receives and sends connections to other somatosensory areas, including the contralateral cortex, but how these systems are wired up is not known. We will investigate whether information about the size and position of the cortical areas and activity-matching of the somatosensory information received by each hemisphere are used to guide callosal axons to their targets.
