The correct wiring of neuronal circuits depends on outgrowth and guidance of neuronal
processes during development. In the past two decades, great progress has been made in …

Neurons migrate from their birthplaces to the destinations, and extending axons navigate to
their synaptic targets by sensing various extracellular cues in spatiotemporally controlled …

Nascent proteins can be positioned rapidly at precise subcellular locations by local protein
synthesis (LPS) to facilitate localized growth responses. Axon arbor architecture, a major …

The size and shape of dendritic arbors are prime determinants of neuronal connectivity and
function. We asked how ON-OFF direction-selective ganglion cells (ooDSGCs) in mouse …

Thermosensation is critical for avoiding thermal extremes and regulating body temperature.
While thermosensors activated by noxious temperatures respond to hot or cold, many …

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a complex group of clinically heterogeneous
neurodevelopmental disorders with unclear etiology and pathogenesis. Genetic studies …

The precise control of growth and maintenance of the retinal ganglion cell (RGC) dendrite
arborization is critical for normal visual functions in mammals. However, the underlying …

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

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a constellation of neurodevelopmental disorders with
high phenotypic and genetic heterogeneity, complicating the discovery of causative genes …

A neuron's contribution to the information flow within a neural circuit is governed by the
structure of its dendritic arbor. The geometry of the dendritic arbor directly determines …
