Mechanisms of Developmental and Injury-related Axon Branch Loss (DIABLo)
Date du début: 1 juin 2014, Date de fin: 31 mai 2019,
My aim is to explore the subcellular (i.e. cell biological and molecular) mechanisms of axon loss in the developing and diseased mammalian nervous system. Axon loss not only sculpts neuronal networks in development, but also occurs early in numerous neurological diseases. Indeed, the life-time risk for diseases with an “axonopathic” component approaches 50%. Pathological axon loss likely involves ...

In vitro reconstitution and mechanistic dissection of Intraflagellar Transport in C.elegans sensory cilia (DissectIFT)
Date du début: 1 mars 2014, Date de fin: 28 févr. 2019,
Cilia are microtubule-based protrusions of the plasma membrane found on many eukaryotic cells, including most cell types of the human body. Whereas the functions of motile cilia were immediately obvious, the role of the immotile or so-called primary cilia remained largely unrecognized for many decades. Once referred to as aberrant solitary cilia with no obvious function, these ancient structures n ...

Cellular determinants of neuronal plasticity on the level of single synapses in vivo (InVivoSynapse)
Date du début: 1 mai 2013, Date de fin: 30 avr. 2018,
The search for the fundamental mechanisms of learning and experience-dependent memory formation in the brain has long been a central quest in neuroscience. The neocortex is a particularly relevant region for plasticity because it is involved in sensory, motor, and cognitive tasks with strong learning components. However, despite many years of intensive research our knowledge of the neuronal mechan ...
