DESCRIPTION:Decades of research have led to many exciting insights into de
 velopment\, function and pathologies of the nervous system.  Most of what 
 we currently know is based on biochemical signaling and genetics.  However
 \, cells live in a physical world and obey physical laws.  Here I will int
 roduce some examples how cellular forces\, tissue mechanics\, and also opt
 ics contribute to the functioning of the nervous system\, and how understa
 nding physical cell interactions may lead to novel treatment strategies of
  currently incurable CNS disorders such as spinal cord injuries.
