Research Abstract

Developing neurons establish their unique dendritic fields for sampling appropriate inputs from particular places. By using Drosophila sensory neurons as a model system, we have studies how neurons specify and maintain their unique dendritic fields. We have progressed our understanding on the functional mechanisms of the NDR-Hippo kinase signaling pathway in dendrite maintenance.
