This project studies how touch-based sensory inputs influence the development of neuronal dendritic trees, which are crucial for mechanosensation. Using the model organism Caenorhabditis elegans, it aims to understand the relationship between sensory input and neuronal morphology.
To convey sensory touch inputs, neurons must have the ability to sense and translate mechanical stimuli into electrical signals.
This process, known as mechanosensation, relies on the proper structuring and development of neuronal dendritic trees (arborization).
There is growing evidence supporting the required role of environmental cues in determining the definitive morphology of dendritic trees.
In turn, arborization is expected to result from both intrinsic neuronal differentiation as well as…
