David Solecki, PhD, St. Jude Department of Developmental Neurobiology identified a “coincidence detection circuit” responsible for the migration of mature neuronal cells from the germinal zone and ...

An ancient brain circuit, which enables the eyes to reflexively rotate up as the body tilts down, tunes itself early in life as an animal develops, a new study finds.
