SUMMARY:Regulation of topographic order in the developing nervous system t
 hrough dynamic cell adhesion - Professor Stephen Price\, UCL

DESCRIPTION:A major mode of organisation of neurons in vertebrate brains j
 uxtaposes functionally related neurons into three dimensional clusters kno
 wn as neuronal nuclei. Relatively little is known about how these clusters
  form during embryo development. During my talk\, I shall discuss evidence
  that the combinatorial expression of multiple members of the cadherin fam
 ily of cell adhesion molecules drives specificity of formation of neuronal
  nuclei. I shall illustrate this using three types of neuronal nuclei\, sp
 inal and cranial motor neurons and the brainstem neurons that birds use to
  calculate the location of a sound source in the horizontal plane.\n
