Joshua Sanes contributes optimism (and a great deal of research) to an August 7 Science magazine article on the longstanding controversy of neuronal classification. While skeptics suspect we…
Joshua Sanes (l) and Dimitar Kostadinov The dendritic processes of neurons form elaborate branched arbors that are stereotyped among neurons of a specific type but differ markedly among…
Recovery from injury to the mammalian brain or spinal cord is notoriously poor, and a big part of the problem lies in the limited ability of damaged neurons…

The aim of developmental neurobiology is to learn how the nervous system is built, and to find the developmental anomalies that are thought to underlie some brain diseases. …
Neurons form precise relationships with particular synaptic partners and these relationships give rise to the wiring diagram that enables cognitive function. Like other partnerships, neural connections need to…
The September 17, 2013 New York Times described a visit by MCB Professor Joshua Sanes to the Fordham University School of Law to discuss the NIH’s upcoming BRAIN…
Neurons send signals to other neurons along axons. Their growth is a major aspect of brain development, and one that occurs in a long series of steps. First,…
Professor of Molecular and Cellular Biology Joshua Sanes will speak at Harvey Society’s lecture series on November 15 at 8:00 PM at The Rockefeller University in New York…
(L to R) Dimitar Kostadinov, Joshua Sanes, and Julie Lefebvre Neurons in the brain extend elaborately branched dendrites that receive inputs from other neurons and sensory stimuli. In…
