The cytoskeleton\, composed of actin and microtubule filaments and ass ociated proteins\, plays a key role in orchestrating tissue morphogenesis and regulating the polarization of cells. The cytoskeleton itself is highl y dynamic\, composed of a growing end that remodels the shape of cells dur ing their migration in response to cues from the environment. For example\ , the actin dynamics in the neuronal growth cone responds to chemoattracti ve cues to extend growing neurites during the wiring up of the nervous sys tem. And the cytoskeleton plays an essential role in the migration of newb orn neurons during the creation of laminated structures such as the retina \, cerebral cortex\, and cerebellum. Yet we have an incomplete understandi ng of how the neuronal cytoskeleton is regulated in time and space to achi eve such remarkably efficient and beautiful neuroanatomies.\n\nI will desc ribe recent efforts in the lab at identifying interactors of the neuronal cytoskeleton\, and the consequences of their loss for the laminar organiza tion of neural structures\, and formation of neuronal morphologies and fun ction.\n DTSTART:20231010T200000Z DTEND:20231010T210000Z LOCATION:de Grandpre Communications Centre\, Montreal Neurological Institut e\, CA\, QC\, Montreal\, H3A 2B4\, 3801 rue University SUMMARY:Killam Seminar Series: The Genesis of Form in the Nervous System: C ytoskeletal–Interacting Proteins During Neuronal Migration\, Lamination\, and Connectivity URL:/neuro/channels/event/killam-seminar-series-genesi s-form-nervous-system-cytoskeletal-interacting-proteins-during-neuronal-35 1080 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
