    Collapse Overview 
    Collapse Summary
    The development and maturation of the brain is dependent on neuronal activity. The human brain continues to mature over 20-30 years, meaning sensory input continuously shapes neural circuit architecture over decades. Using human stem cells, rodent, and non-human primate tissue, the Boulting Laboratory investigates human neuronal activity-dependent gene dynamics evolved in the primate brain.
    Collapse Rotation Projects

    1- Determinants of human neuronal transcriptional specification

    2- Neuronal activity-dependent transcription of the primate brain

    3- OSTN function in developing human cortical neurons

    PMC Citations indicate the number of times the publication was cited by articles in PubMed Central, and the Altmetric score represents citations in news articles and social media. (Note that publications are often cited in additional ways that are not shown here.) Fields are based on how the National Library of Medicine (NLM) classifies the publication's journal and might not represent the specific topic of the publication. Translation tags are based on the publication type and the MeSH terms NLM assigns to the publication. Some publications (especially newer ones and publications not in PubMed) might not yet be assigned Field or Translation tags.) Click a Field or Translation tag to filter the publications.
