Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Models matter: human-specific roles of POU3F2 and Wnt Signalling in neurodevelopment
Q: Can you tell us a little bit more about how you identify the phenotype and the implications, perhaps relating to autism spectrum disorders?
We identified premature radial glial specification as a phenotype through unbiased analyses, which suggests alterations in neural progenitor cell behavior can impact cortical development and relate to conditions such as autism spectrum disorders.
Models matter: human-specific roles of POU3F2 and Wnt Signalling in neurodevelopment
Q: What did you learn about the disruption of its function based on these results?
POU3F2 transcriptionally activates SOX13 and ADMP, which are involved in Wnt signaling regulation in neural progenitor cells, suggesting it plays a key role in controlling neurodevelopmental processes.
Models matter: human-specific roles of POU3F2 and Wnt Signalling in neurodevelopment
Q: Can you tell us a little bit about your gene of interest in the study POU3F2 and how you came to focus on this gene?
POU3F2, also called Brain2, is a neural transcription factor implicated in various neuropsychiatric and neurodevelopmental disorders. We began our work on it due to its consistent association with bipolar disorder and rare mutations linked to autism spectrum disorder.
Neurotransmitter-informed connectivity maps and predicting stroke functional outcome
Q: Why is this research area important?
Understanding neurotransmitter mechanisms may aid in supporting stroke patients through drug-induced therapy.
Neurotransmitter-informed connectivity maps and predicting stroke functional outcome
Q: Can you tell us about the main findings of your paper?
We aim to quantify the impact of brain location on neurotransmitter systems and apply this to stroke recovery.
