The brain’s complexity is apparent from the incredible diversity in its cell types. To form the functional circuitry necessary to achieve sophisticated cognitive and motor functions, neural progenitors must make each type of neural cell at the right place and time and in the correct proportions.
All cells have the same genome, but each neural cell type expresses a specific subset of genes guided by a blueprint that was established within the progenitor. We are exploring the origins of neural diversity by studying how neural progenitor competence – the ability or potential to specify different cell types – is developmentally regulated by changes in nuclear architecture.
