Structure-function relationships in human brain development
The integration of anatomical, functional, and developmental approaches in cognitive neuroscience is essential for generating mechanistic explanations of brain function. In this thesis, I first establish a proof-of-principle that neuroanatomical connectivity, as measured with diffusion weighted …

Pten Function in Postnatal Brain Development and Tumorigenesis
… neuronal positioning and is involved in the development and maintenance of normal function for oligodendrocytes and astrocytes.</p> <p> Neuronal precursors (neuroblasts) are generated every day throughout life in the subventricular zone (SVZ) and migrate through the rostral migratory stream …

ORGANOIDS AS TOOLS TO STUDY BRAIN DEVELOPMENT AND DISEASE
Human brain organoids (ORG) are a widely used in vitro model that contribute to our knowledge about the biology and pathophysiology of the nervous central system (CNS). They are 3D multicellular clusters that mimic the cytoarchitecture and the developmental pathways that occur in vivo. The most …

Brain development from sensorimotor experiences: Handwriting and letter perception
… a fundamental skill in early reading development. This dissertation focuses on understanding the neural mechanisms that underlie increases in letter recognition after handwriting practice. The hypotheses of this dissertation are that (1) the visual-motor coordination inherent to …

Functional analysis of embryonic brain development in Tribolium castaneum
Das Gehirn eines Tieres ermöglicht unter anderem die Steuerung von komplexen Verhaltensweisen wie beispielsweise Orientierung und gerichtete Bewegungen. In Insekten wurde für jene Prozesse ein übergeordnetes Zentrum entdeckt, das Zentralkomplex genannt wird. Es besteht aus fünf neuropilären …

Diffusion Tensor Imaging Biomarkers of Brain Development and Disease
<p>Understanding the structure of the brain has been a major goal of neuroscience research over the past century, driven in part by the understanding that brain structure closely follows function. Normative brain maps, or atlases, can be used to understand normal brain structure, and to identify …

The Effects of Social Interactions on Brain Development in Infancy
… and years, leading to a sophisticated network of brain regions that emerges to handle social information. However, it is essential to consider the context in which brain development unfolds to unravel the underlying mechanisms and interpret the significance of these brain functions early in life. …

The Epigenetic Role of EGR1 during Postnatal Mammalian Brain Development
… is an epigenetic mechanism critical for tissue development, cell specification and cellular function. Mammalian brains consist of millions to billions of neurons and glial cells that can be subdivided into many distinct types of cells. We hypothesize that brain methylomes are heterogeneously …

Bridging the link between trauma, brain development and depression: epigenetic mechanisms
… who have never been depressed on (1a) brain morphology and (1b) DNA methylation? We studied differences in the fronto-limbic system (a collection of areas responsible for emotion regulation) and methylation at the serotonin transporter (SLC6A4) and FK506 binding protein gene (FKBP5) …

Distinct Roles for Dynein Regulatory Proteins NudE and NudEL in Brain Development
The development of the mammalian neocortex requires the careful balancing of proliferation, migration, and differentiation. The cellular machinery coordinating these events includes molecular motor proteins such as dynein. Regulation of dynein activity is particularly important, since it is the …

The role of tissue viscoelasticity in axon guidance during Xenopus brain development
During nervous system development, axon bundles grow over large distances along well-defined pathways, guided by gradients of chemical cues in their environment. In addition, axons mechanically interact with their environment and respond to stiffness gradients they may encounter in the developing …
