Spider-like neurons finding their way: signposts for multipolar migration in the developing brain

Posted by Jaakko Lehtimäki, on 11 March 2026

Developing neurons travel large distances and orchestrate into precise layers to enable functional wiring of the brain. Within this unique tissue environment, many neurons use their neighbors like railway tracks, navigating in a directed manner toward their correct layer. However, this is not always the case. Multipolar migration, where cells extend multiple protrusions and display

Research Assistant Position

Posted by Tina Tootle, on 26 June 2021

The Carver College of Medicine Department of Anatomy and Cell Biology is seeking a Research Assistant to join the Tootle lab (www.tootlelab.com) to perform research using Drosophila melanogaster (fruit flies) to define how lipid signals regulate actin in the cytoplasm and the nucleus. Execute planned research activities using observation, measurement and analytical techniques. Manage and maintain Drosophila
