Research Abstract

In this study, we examined whether Polycomb repressor complex regulates the areal organization of a mammalian neocortex. To this end, we conditionally knocked out Ring1B gene, which is an essential component of Polycomb repressor complex, and examined the arealization of the neocortex. We found that Polycomb repressor complex changes the fate of neural stem cells and this fate changes results in the regulation of neocortical arealization.
