How is this feat achieved? I will first describe our work using the Drosophila olfactory circuit as a model to address this question. I will then discuss functions of homologs of wiring molecules we identified in the fly olfactory circuits in determining wiring specificity of the mouse hippocampal and other circuits. LECTURE OBJECTIVES: To appreciate the importance of wiring specificity in neural circuit function\; To learn how a combination of genetic analyses\, transcriptomic and proteomic approaches can be used to identify key molecules in regulating wiring specificity\; To understand how evolutionarily conserved molecules can help determining wiring specificity of diverse neural circuits. https://profiles.stanford.edu/liqun-luo\n\nFor more information go to 'https://oir.nih.gov/wals'>https://oir.nih.gov/wals X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:\n\n
