Infectious triggers of chronic autoimmunity (INTRICATE)
Start date: Nov 1, 2010, End date: Apr 30, 2015,
This proposal builds on existing expertise and collaborations of a multidisciplinary Consortium of basic scientists and clinical investigators each of whom has made a substantial individual contribution to understanding the links between infection and autoimmunity. The aim of the INTRICATE Consortium is to prosecute a programme of Translational Research that deliniates the role of infection in the ...

Genetic analysis of a novel family of repulsive guidance cues acting through Unc5 receptors (FLRT in neurobiology)
Start date: Jun 1, 2012, End date: May 31, 2014,
One of the most challenging problems in neurobiology is to understand the mechanisms that mediate the formation of a functional neuronal network. Despite the identification of several molecules that regulate axon guidance and cell migration, it is unclear how these factors can specify a large number of connections in the nervous system.The present project aims to study the role and mechanism of ac ...

Imaging function and dysfunction of neuronal circuits in the visual cortex (EuroV1sion)
Start date: Dec 1, 2008, End date: May 31, 2013,
The research program aims to understand the dynamics of the structural and functional organization of the visual cortex and the implications for amblyopia ('lazy eye', the most prevalent visual disorder among young people). We will study these fundamental issues from the molecular level all the way to the network level. To achieve this, members of the consortium have - for the first time - establi ...

Visualizing the structural synaptic memory trace: presynaptic partners of newly formed spines (HebbianNewSpines)
Start date: Apr 1, 2011, End date: Mar 31, 2013,
The formation and elimination of spine synapses can be visualized both in vitro as well as in vivo using advanced imaging techniques. It is known that the number of dendritic spines changes both during development as well as during the acquisition of new memories. However, up to now these observations are entirely correlative. It is unclear if the presynaptic neuron forming a functional contact on ...
