For the brain to function correctly its neurons must be connected correctly. This project will use a novel mathematical approach to understand how growing nerve fibres find where to go in the developing brain. In particular we will use both experiments and computational analysis to understand how the shape of the tip of a growing nerve fibre helps the fibre navigate. This may help us understand the biological cause of many different types of mental disorders.

为了使大脑正常工作，它的神经元必须正确连接。该项目将使用一种新的数学方法来了解生长中的神经纤维如何在发育中的大脑中找到位置。特别是，我们将使用实验和计算分析来了解生长神经纤维尖端的形状如何帮助纤维导航。这可能有助于我们了解许多不同类型的精神障碍的生物学原因。
