Information processing in the brain depends on specialized circuits that are formed by distinct types of neurons. How these different nerve cells emerge and mature during development remains a fundamental question in neurobiology. We are interested to define at single-cell resolution the metabolic and transcriptomic programmes that shape neuronal diversity and circuit assembly in the developing mammalian cortex. Our research focuses primarily ...
