The main structural components of interneurons are the soma, the dendrites, the axon, and their electrical and chemical synaptic connections. Each component is associated with a set of features ...

Dendrites protrude from the soma and act as the inputs of the neuron. A typical neuron will have thousands of dendrites, with each connecting to an axon of another neuron. The connection is called ...

My lab studies how neuronal circuits form during embryonic development. Specifically, we identify and study genes required for the correct navigation of neuronal processes (axons and dendrites), a ...
