Funded Activity Summary

During development of the fetal brain, cells are wired together. The correct wiring patterns are essential for normal function of the brain. Growth and formation of new connections decreases after birth. For this reason, the repair of the damaged adult nervous system is limited. However, there is one region in the nervous system that exhibits continual growth and repair throughout life. This is the nerve that is responsible for smell and connects the nose to the brain. The aim of this study is to identify the processes that permit continual growth within this region of the nervous system.
