Researchers Discover a New Embryonic Brain Circuit
Basel, April 17, 2023 Using a new approach for studying live embryonic mouse brains at single-cell resolution, researchers have identified an active multi-layer circuit that forms in the cortex during an unexpectedly early stage of development.
- Basel, April 17, 2023 Using a new approach for studying live embryonic mouse brains at single-cell resolution, researchers have identified an active multi-layer circuit that forms in the cortex during an unexpectedly early stage of development.
- Perturbing the circuit genetically led to changes similar to those seen in the brains of people with autism.
- The findings are reported today in Cell by a team based at the Institute of Molecular and Clinical Ophthalmology Basel.
- In future research, IOB researchers will "carefully look at the superficial and deep layers of this early circuitry and independently manipulate them," Roska says.
