The Developing, Aging Neocortex: How genetics and epigenetics influence early developmental patterning and age-related change.

A hallmark of mammalian development is the generation of functional subdivisions within the nervous system. In humans, this regionalization creates a complex system that regulates behavior, cognition, memory and emotion. During development, specification of neocortical tissue that leads to functiona...
