Brief description Construction of the developing nervous system in the embryo involves the creation of nerve cells and their connections, but also involves loss of a proportion of these cells prior to maturation. We will study this process of cell death and how developing nerve cells switch on their dependency to survival factors. In so doing we will better understand what happens when brain development goes wrong and also devise new ways to protect nerve cells in the injured or degenerate adult nervous system.
