Le Pr. Olivier Hobert présentera sa conférence "Nervous system patterning and evolution in nematodes"
Abstract
How are the many distinct cell types that characterize a mature nervous system genetically specified? How stable is neuronal identity over the life time of an animal? For a terminally differnetiating neuron these questions boil down to a gene regulatory question: how is the expression of the distinct batteries of genes thet define the terminal, functional properties of distinct neuron type induced and maintened? How are changes in the gene expression, and hence changes in neuronal phenotypes, triggered? We study these questions in the contex of the nematode C. elegans, and we have begun to uncover what appear to some simple, phylogenetically conserved principles thet undelie the generation of diverse neuronal identities.
