My team takes a multidisciplinary approach, using a range of neuroanatomical, electrophysiological, cell biological, molecular biological, transplantation, genetic and transgenic methods to analyse mechanisms regulating events that occur during the pre- and post-natal development of cortex in various species. Our results demonstrate that the transcription factor, Pax6, controls cell proliferation, migration and differentiation in the embryonic neocortex, and that it regulates the growth of axons from the embryonic thalamus to the cerebral cortex. Using genetics, transgenics, chimaeras and transplantation methods we have discovered some of the mechanisms regulating these processes.
