Syngap1 and the development of murine neocortical progenitor cells

Soraia Barão, Yijun Xu, Ingie Hong, Ulrich W. Mueller, Richard L. Huganir

This study shows that Syngap1 absence or haploinsufficiency does not affect murine neocortical progenitor properties or output, suggesting species-specific or methodological differences in SYNGAP1's role in neurogenesis.

Transcriptional Control of Neocortical Size and Microcephaly

Soraia Barão, Yijun Xu, José P. Llongueras, Rachel Vistein, Loyal A. Goff, Kristina J. Nielsen, Byoung-Il Bae, Richard S Smith, Christopher A. Walsh, Genevieve Stein-O’Brien, Ulrich Müller

This study identifies two transcription factors that regulate neocortical size by controlling progenitor cell behavior and gene expression, with implications for microcephaly.
