报告人简介：

 

Dr Zou is interested in the wiring, function and disorders of neural circuits, especially in molecular and cellular mechanisms of axon guidance, synapse formation and regeneration in the central nervous system. Dr Zou’s lab pioneers the finding that Wnt family morphogens are axon guidance molecules, directing the pathfinding and topographic projection of axons along the major axes of the central nervous system. He is also the first to show that planar cell polarity and apical-basal polarity signaling pathways steer growth cones. In addition, Dr Zou establishes that axon guidance molecules and their signaling pathways are reactivated in adult central nervous after traumatic injury and play important roles in functional recovery. More recently, Dr Zou's lab finds that planar cell polarity signaling components play critical roles in glutamatergic synapse formation.
