  "Branching out: The Molecular Gardeners of Dendritic Arbors" - Hadley Horch, Norma L. and Roland G. Ware Jr. Professor of Biology and Neuroscience Inaugural Lecture

  The relationship between form and function is obvious in the brain. Neuronal structure directly impacts connectivity and circuit properties, ultimately shaping behavior. But how do neurons know what shape to take? What genetic and molecular factors guide neuronal growth? Further, in established nervous systems, do these same factors help individual neurons compensate for injury? By studying the factors that help shape development and injury responses in simple nervous systems, we can infer the molecular rules that likely govern human nervous systems as well.
