DESCRIPTION:Developing brains use a limited number of cell-surface protein
 s to specify connection specificity of a much larger number of neurons and
  synapses. How is this feat achieved? How do different cell-surface protei
 ns work together to assemble a functional circuit? To address these questi
 ons\, I will first describe our work using the fly olfactory circuit as a 
 model. I will then discuss functions of homologs of cell-surface proteins 
 we identified in the fly olfactory circuits in determining wiring specific
 ity of neural circuits in the mouse brain.
LOCATION:In person in the Max Perutz Lecture Theatre (CB2 0QH)
