* * * * * Prof. Christine Holt FRS Professor of Developmental Neuroscience Axon Guidance in the Developing Brain We are investigating how axons are guided to their correct synaptic targets in the brain. In the developing vertebrate visual system, retinal ganglion cells in the eye extend axons that navigate over a long distance to their synaptic targets in the midbrain. This impressive navigational feat underlies the precise wiring of the mature brain and is essential for building functional nerve connections. The goal of our research is to understand the molecular and cellular mechanisms that
