Funded Activity Summary

During brain development, nerve cells interact with each other and their surrounding environment through a forest of molecules that are essential for precise cellular communication. Deficient signaling between these molecules causes defects in development and leads to disease. By employing genetic and biochemical approaches we propose to identify new mechanisms through which the brain develops, to better understand how brain diseases such as epilepsy and schizophrenia occur.
