<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n The central focus of our research is to build a rigorous mechanistic understanding of mammalian brain development, with an eye towards uncovering the underpinnings of neuropsychiatric disorders of developmental origin.<\/p>\n In the Panagiotakos lab, we study how electrical activity and calcium signaling regulate the generation of distinct types of cells during normal development of the mammalian brain. We employ a variety of approaches to explore how immature, undifferentiated neural progenitor cells integrate intrinsic and extrinsic signals to commit to specific neural fates, such as the different types of excitatory cells inhabiting the cerebral cortex. We are also interested in understanding how activity-regulated developmental mechanisms may be reactivated in the context of adult neurological disorders and the development of brain tumors.<\/p>\n To
