Post Synaptic Density Scaffold proteins in the growth cone: Homer and Shank, crucial for calcium signaling.

我们的大脑是一个复杂而精确的电路。了解胚胎大脑是如何连接的，对生活的各个方面都有直接的影响，从母亲子宫里成长的胎儿，到学习代数和保持我们老龄化人口的活跃记忆。该项目旨在为了解胚胎大脑如何连接提供新的见解，为未来精神疾病，衰老和神经元损伤的药理学或基因治疗方法提供关键信息。

Our brain is a complex, yet precise electrical circuit. Understanding how the embryonic brain is wired has direct implications for all aspects of life, from the growing foetus in mother's womb, to learning algebra and for maintaining the active memories of our ageing population. This project aims to provide new insight into understanding how the embryonic brain is wired, crucial information for future pharmacological or gene therapy approaches to mental illness, ageing, and neuronal injury.
