Funded Activity Summary

The normal functioning of the brain depends on connections of billions of nerve cells or neurons. We have found that a protein called Ten_m3 plays a very important role in specifying the way that neurons from the eye connect to the brain. The role of this protein is so important that mice which lack the protein behave as if they are blind. The aim of this project is to understand how this protein controls the development of the visual system.
