9/7/09: Polleux lab identifies critical gene for brain development and mental retardation
n the cover article published in the September 4th issue of Cell, Franck Polleux’s lab discovered that establishing the neural wiring necessary to function normally depends on the ability of neurons to make finger-like projections of their membrane called filopodia. In laying down the neural circuitry of the developing brain, billions of neurons must first … Read more
