Ep. 266: “From Stem Cells to Cortical Circuits” Featuring Dr. Pierre Vanderhaeghen
Dr. Pierre Vanderhaeghen, professor at VIB-KU Leuven studying cortical development and brain evolution. He discusses species-specific neuronal development and human neuron excitability. He describes LRRC37B at the axon initial segment and its possible role in shaping human cortical function. He also talks about stem-cell models and his surprising life outside the lab playing in a rock cover band.
