Funded Activity Summary

Defects in neuronal cell migration during embryonic development lead to mental retardation and epilepsy. Although neuronal migration is essential for the development of normal intelligence, we know relatively little about the molecular mechanisms that regulate this process. We have identified two proteins, Socs6 and Socs7, which are essential for neuronal migration and normal cerebral cortex development. We propose to fully investigate the function of Socs6 and Socs7 during cortex development.
