Defects in neurogenesis alter brain circuit formations and may lead to neurodevelopmental
disorders such as autism and schizophrenia. Histone H2A. z, a variant of histone H2A, plays …

Parasitoid wasps are a fierce predator of Drosophila larvae. Female Leptopilina boulardi
(LB) wasps use a sharp ovipositor to inject eggs into the bodies of Drosophila melanogaster …

The highly dynamic remodeling and cross talk of the microtubule and actin cytoskeleton
support neuronal morphogenesis. Small RhoGTPases family members have emerged as …

Experience-dependent structural changes in the developing brain are fundamental for
proper neural circuit formation. Here, we show that during the development of the sensory …

Dendrites often adopt complex branched structures. The development and organization of
these arbors fundamentally determine the potential input and connectivity of a given neuron …

Dendrite morphology is necessary for the correct integration of inputs that neurons receive.
The branching mechanisms allowing neurons to acquire their type-specific morphology …

Summary Mammalian Sterile 20 (Ste20)-like kinase 3 (MST3) is a ubiquitously expressed
kinase capable of enhancing axon outgrowth. Whether and how MST3 kinase signaling …

Neuronal migration and subsequent differentiation play critical roles for establishing
functional neural circuitry in the developing brain. However, the molecular mechanisms that …

Brain development relies on dynamic morphogenesis and interactions of neurons. Filopodia
are thin and highly dynamic membrane protrusions that are critically required for neuronal …

Proprioceptive sensory axons in the spinal cord form selective connections with motor
neuron partners, but the strategies that confer such selectivity remain uncertain. We show …
