Our projects are focused on the developmental mechanisms that control some of the key, species-specific, features of the human cortex, and how they relate to human brain evolution. We also study how the mechanisms of (mal)formation of human cortical neurons and circuits have direct relevance to neurodevelopmental diseases, in particular cognitive and psychiatric disorders. Finally we explore how basic principles of corticogenesis can be applied to the development of novel cellular models and therapies for neurological conditions.
