Control of Neuronal Circuit Assembly by Gtpase Regulators
… of neuronal circuits is a major focus of developmental neurobiology. The structural organization and specific connectivity of neuronal circuits arises from a series of morphological transformations: neuronal differentiation, migration, axonal guidance, axonal and dendritic arbor growth …

The generation and characterization of transgenic mice expressing modifiers of Rho GTPases
In developmental neurobiology, it is a fundamental topic but it is not still well investigated how newborn neurons elaborate axonal and dendrite processes to navigate complicated pathways and travel long distances before they reach their target. Recent studies have suggested that Rho family …

Computational Framework Enabling an EEG-based BCI for Neurofeedback in Language Disorders: The case of dyslexia
… been used to remediate the cognitive symptoms of developmental language disorders. One major limitation to the advancement of this field has been the absence of a framework combining the Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) literature with the developmental neurobiology of speech and language. This …

The role of the RNA-binding protein FUS in axonal organisation and disease
… my work, I built on insights from the field of developmental neurobiology to formulate hypotheses on the physiological consequences of altered FUS phase behaviour. Specifically, I focussed on axonal survival signalling and cytoskeletal remodelling. I tested these hypotheses using the Xenopus …

Impact of adult hippocampal neurogenesis on behavior
The role of adult hippocampal neurogenesis in behavior, especially contextual fear conditioning (CFC), is debated. Several studies demonstrated that blocking adult hippocampal neurogenesis in rodents impairs CFC, while several other studies failed to observe impairment. We sought to determine …

The effect of a reflex replication program on retained primary reflexes, motor coordination, vocabulary, visual motor ability and rapid naming in preprimary aged children
… 1997); and visual motor integration (using the Developmental Test of Visual Motor Integration (Beery, 1989). Following the gathering of this data, an intervention based on the Primary Movement program was then conducted. The effect of the Primary Movement intervention was· compared on the above …

Molecular Mechanisms Controlling the Development and Evolution of the Human Cerebral Cortex
… enabling the characterisation of cell-autonomous developmental mechanisms, comparative studies with more closely related species, and experimental testing of hypotheses on gene function and regulation. In the work presented here, I firstly examine the pathways that specify the generation of …
