OverviewAI-generated summary

LaFreda J. Howard researches axon guidance mechanisms in the fruit fly, *Drosophila*. Her work has focused on the roles of specific proteins, such as Robo2 and Robo3, in directing the growth of nerve cell projections. Recent publications investigate how the Ig1 domain of Robo2 is necessary for various axon guidance functions and how Robo3 can guide longitudinal axons independently of the Slit signaling pathway. Howard collaborates with researchers Timothy A. Evans, Marie C. Reichert, and Ayawovi Selom Ametepe at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville. She has published 6 papers, which have been cited 47 times, and holds an h-index of 3.
