Biography and Research Interest

Research interests: Development of the retinotopic map on tectum, investigated with DiI/DiO labelling of single ganglion cell axons and arbors; effects of pharmacological manipulations of activity on growth of new branches and retraction of branches; roles of kinases and adhesion molecules in activity-dependent sharpening.
