Genetic control mechanisms of long-term neuronal survival
Description: PROJECT NARRATIVE Aberrant neuronal cell death during brain development or throughout lifespan can lead to neurodevelopmental or neurodegenerative diseases. Knowledge about precise control of neuronal survival is essential to dissecting the underlying pathogenic mechanisms. Our proposed studies will provide novel insights to how neuronal survival is mediated by alternative mRNA splicing and to the etiology of neurological disorders.
