(University of Oregon, 2020-02-27)Two central questions in neuroscience are how the brain is capable of both generating the diversity of neurons necessary for generating appropriate behaviors and how developmental programs are capable of then wiring these ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2013-10-03)Neurons in the central nervous system are typically not replaced and must therefore maintain their choice of fate and their synaptic connections throughout the life of an organism. I have used Drosophila genetics to analyze ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2011-09)Regulation of stem cell self-renewal versus differentiation is critical for embryonic development and adult tissue homeostasis. Drosophila larval neuroblasts divide asymmetrically to self-renew and are a model system for ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2018-04-10)The large numbers of neurons that comprise the adult brain display an immense diversity. Repeated divisions of a relatively small pool of neural stem cells generate this neuronal diversity during development. To increase ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2022-10-26)The function of the nervous system – from perception to behavior - relies on the orderlyformation of neural circuits during development. Given that there are billions of neurons in the human brain, and thus billions of ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2021)During Drosophila development, neuroblasts produce neurons that acquires their identity based on the temporal transcription factor (tTF) present during birth. Although research shows that tTFs generate diversity, few have ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2013-07-11)Cells divide to create two daughter cells through cytokinesis. Daughter cells of different sizes are created by shifting the position of the cleavage furrow. The cleavage furrow forms at the position of the metaphase ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2018-04-10)Drosophila larval crawling is an attractive system to study patterned motor output at the level of animal behavior. Larval crawling consists of waves of muscle contractions generating forward or reverse locomotion. In ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2014-09-29)The Drosophila neuroblast undergoes repeated asymmetric cell divisions that produce one daughter cell that assumes a neuronal fate and another that remains a neuroblast. During mitosis, the neuroblast polarizes the conserved ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2017-09-06)Synapses are necessary for a functional nervous system. To form a synapse, a neuron must first extend an axon, then select its proper synaptic target, and finally, a series of adhesion and adaptor molecules must work ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2012)The nervous system is required for human cognition, motor function, and sensory interaction. A complex network of neuronal connections, or synapses, carries out these behaviors, and defects in neural connectivity can result ...

Transcriptional regulation of early progenitor competence in the Drosophila central nervous system (University of Oregon, 2010-09)Neurogenesis in Drosophila and mammals requires the precise integration of spatial and temporal cues. In Drosophila, embryonic neural progenitors, called neuroblasts, sequentially express the transcription factors Hunchback, ...
