Abstract

How do astrocyte-derived neurons deal with the sudden loss of their glial identity? Exciting new findings from Gascón et al. (2016) single out metabolic conversion as a critical checkpoint for direct neuronal reprogramming.

Dr. Arlotta is interested in understanding the molecular laws that govern the birth, differentiation and assembly of the cerebral cortex, the part of the brain that controls how we sense, move and think. She integrates developmental and evolutionary knowledge to investigate therapies for brain repair and for modeling neuropsychiatric disease.
