Our key questions

What are the cellular and molecular mechanisms shaping the central nervous system (CNS)?
How, and when, is cellular diversity defined and how is it tweaked by evolution?
What are the evolutionary dynamics controlling changes during CNS development?
How early in development are species-specific attributes defined? Are these developments irreversible?
