Seminar Title: 'Spatiotemporal Dynamics of Nervous System Regeneration in Hydra vulgaris'
Brief Description: Jennifer will present ongoing work investigating how specific neuronal subtypes are generated and positioned during head regeneration. Jennifer's preliminary data suggest that neuronal regeneration is tightly coordinated with the formation of the surrounding head tissue, raising the question of how signals from regenerating tissue instruct the formation of the right neuronal identities at the right time and place.
