A major goal in neuroscience is the understanding of organizational principles and the underlying communication and integration mechanisms leading to a functional nervous system. Many developmental processes involve massive cellular migrations, communication and reorganization. Today, it is accepted that extensive networking of cells and their molecular components result in formation of the brain. In the past, genetic and biochemical studies have identified molecules that facilitate accurate synaptic target recognitions as well as those responsible for pre- and postsynaptic specializations. However, the significance of explicit cellular motilities and required molecular integration within emerging cellular network needs to be further addressed. The laboratory’s main interest is the study of the dynamic nature of those cellular and molecularevents and how they are integrated to give rise to the synapse.
