Cell and molecular basis of cortical development (CONSORTIUM ON CORTICAL DEVELOPMENT)

Objective

A better understanding of the mechanisms that control the development of the cerebral cortex is requisite to the prevention and treatment of many neurological and mental disorders such as brain malformations, learning disabilities and behavioural disorders. This research is thus directly relevant to issues of public health and quality of life in the EU. This consortium brings together several laboratories with complementary expertises in molecular and cellular techniques and will use this multidisciplinary approach to address the key questions of the generation of cortical neurons, of radial and tangential neuronal migration, the formation of cortical layers, the differentiation of the various cortical areas and the formation of connections. The research program is divided into well-defined operational work packages, allowing easy monitoring of progress. The results and reagents will be shared among participants, reported in international meetings and journals, and patent covered when applicable.

Fields of science (EuroSciVoc)

CORDIS classifies projects with EuroSciVoc, a multilingual taxonomy of fields of science, through a semi-automatic process based on NLP techniques. See: The European Science Vocabulary.
