Brief description Our brain is a complex, yet precise electrical circuit. Understanding how the embryonic brain is wired has direct implications for all aspects of life, from the growing foetus in mother's womb, to learning algebra and for maintaining the active memories of our ageing population. This project aims to provide new insight into understanding how the embryonic brain is wired, crucial information for future pharmacological or gene therapy approaches to mental illness, ageing, and neuronal injury.
