Funded Activity Summary

Commissural axons connect and coordinate activity between neurons of the left and right sides of the central nervous system. In the forebrain, formation of commissural axons is determined by guidance factors at the midline between the two hemispheres, and abnormalities in guidance can cause developmental malformations. The aims of this project are to elucidate function of the Robo/Slit family of molecules in regulating axon guidance of commissural neurons, particularly in the corpus callosum.
