Abstract

How do cells pattern and establish the complex structures of the brain?

How does a cell know that it will be part of the forebrain or the hindbrain? By using embryonic stem cells, this project focuses on researching how proteins and genes interact with each other to establish instructions for the proper development of the brain.
