Funded Activity Summary

Failure to produce neural stem cells and new neurons in the embryonic cortex results in cortical malformations and autism, and thus has profound consequences for the individual's survival and quality of life. Here we explore how a unique network of autism proteins maintains stem cell activity and neuronal production, thereby ensuring the fidelity of cortical development.
