 My current work aims to provide new knowledge about the ways in which the cerebral cortex develops a correct balance of inhibitory vs excitatory neurons and also about the capacity of cortical neurons to alter how they develop when perturbed genetically. My project investigates how the transcription factor Pax6 normally prevents a pro-inhibitory and promotes a pro-excitatory program of gene activation in the embryonic cortex.
