Description

The cerebral neocortex is the center for higher cognitive functions, including perception, decision-making, and language. Our group investigates the fundamental mechanisms that drive neocortical development, with a particular focus on the role and regulation of radial glial cells—the neural stem cells of the developing cortex that give rise to the majority of its neurons and glial cells, using a combination of complementary and highly relevant model systems, ranging from neural stem cell cultures and embryonic mouse brain to iPSC-derived human cortical organoids and human fetal tissue.

Biological models

Neural stems cells, embryonic mouse brain, human cortical organoids, human fetal cortical tissue
