Transcriptional control of nuclei-specific thalamocortical neurons
A detailed understanding of the pool of guidance receptors that is express by distinct populations of […]
Integration of distinct signaling pathways in thalamocortical behavior
The sorting of thalamocortical axons seem to be a rather complicated mechanism in which attractive, repulsive and growth control signaling cues are involved. But, how are the distinct signaling pathways integrated by thalamocortical neurons to drive a unique behavioral response? […]
Activity-dependent mechanisms involved in thalamocortical guidance and wiring
![](http://lopezbenditolab.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/project3-460x295.jpg)
Axons require multiple cues to be guided to their targets, and many molecules that are involved in these guidance events have been identified. A general consensus has emerged that such molecular mechanisms are most commonly used for pathfinding to the target area and […]
Neuroplasticity following sensory deprivation
The functional architecture of the brain is strongly influenced by any sensory inputs that are received. […]
