Scientific Foci, Neuroscience: studies of expression of cell-secreted neurotrophins that aid axonal target selection in developing cerebral cortex, including both neocortex and hippocampal formation. Experiments use tissue slice and dissociated cell culture techniques to understand how expression of neurotrophin-3 guides cholinergic axons to form synapses with cortical neurons.
