Development and functional diversity of neural cell types in the septum

Abstract 

Neural cell fate specification during development is known to be influenced by both intrinsic and extrinsic mechanisms. However, the precise contribution of each of these factors is not well understood. I will discuss our work using single nuclei sequencing, and genetic fate mapping to follow the developmental trajectories diverse neural cell types in the septum and our efforts to resolve the contribution of progenitor lineage origin and local cellular environment in shaping their unique molecular, cellular and anatomical circuit features.
