Cells Webinar | Nervous System Development and Plasticity in Model Organisms VI
As the central part of the nervous system, neurons process incoming information and transmit it to different parts of the body. Glial cells provide support and protection for neurons and are necessary for neural development, synapse and myelin formation and proper function of neurons. They also maintain the homeostasis of the nervous system as some population of glial cells can behave as neural stem cells during embryonic development and in adult stages.
During the development of an organism, the nervous system undergoes significant changes not only regarding its structure but also its function. Neurons, glial cells and the numerous molecular signals and components that are part of the nervous system, can play various roles during different stages of development and in different parts of the nervous system.
This webinar features several eminent experts in the field of nervous system development, maintenance and regeneration in different model organisms.
- Dr. Sepand Rastegar, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), Germany
- Prof. Dr. Julia Ganz, Department of Integrative Biology, Michigan State University, East Lansing, USA
