| summary | Gil Lewkovitz will be here on Friday, Oct. 5th to tell us about his recent results on the development and function of the hypothalamus in zebrafish. Gil's work has been instrumental in mapping the different neuronal precursors fated to generate hypothalamic nuclei and in isolating key factors of their specification. He is also interested in how hypothalamic specification pathways impact on physiological function, including the regulation of stress.
