Funded Activity Summary

This work will increase our understanding of how the brain is assembled and what mechanisms control this process. Understanding this highly orchestrated string of events is vital as abnormal positioning and numbers of neurons are known pathologies in brains of patients with epilepsy and schizophrenia. Using state of the art equipment we can visualize neurons moving in brain slices in real-time and investigate environmental factors involved in this important process.
