Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Ioana Genescu"
- Ioana Genescu's research focuses on the intricate dynamics of cortical wiring, particularly in layer 1 of the neocortex, highlighting the regulatory roles of transient Cajal-Retzius cells and thalamic activity in neural circuit formation and functionality.
- Genescu's studies reveal that programmed cell death of transient Cajal-Retzius neurons plays a crucial role in establishing functional cortical circuits, shedding light on the mechanisms behind neuronal elimination and their implications for neurodevelopment.
- Additionally, her work investigates the influence of lipid rafts in developing neurons, specifically how they compartmentalize signaling events that are essential for retinal axon arbor pruning and overall neuronal connectivity.*
