| Research Abstract |
The goal of this research is to assemble and analyze a microarray of genes that are expressed during critical periods of brain development, when the environment can flexibly reshape neural circuits. By confirming morphogenic molecules in particular inhibitory cell types, we elucidated mechanisms of brain function development through an integrated molecular and neurophysiological approach. For example, the discovery of novel functions for the Otx2 homeoprotein, as well as molecular "brakes" on the critical period represented by myelin factors, will be a key to therapeutically reopening brain plasticity in adulthood.
