Abstract
This chapter summarizes two related but distinct lines of investigation carried out by Dale Purves and his colleagues over the past several years: the first deals with the ways in which a neuron’s morphology and innervation are regulated by the neuron’s target, and the second deals with the development of methods by which neuronal morphology and connectivity can be monitored in living animals.
