Shooter Lecturer: Cell recognition molecules and the establishment of neural circuits - Lawrence Zipursky

Neural circuits comprise diverse neuronal cell types interconnected by specific patterns of synapses. The intricacy and specificity of connectivity in brains of both vertebrates and invertebrates is astounding. It is generally believed that specificity arises through two sequential processes, an initial stage of hard wiring driven by genetic programs followed by further sculpting by experience. My talk will focus on genetic programs regulating the hard wiring of neural circuitry.
