Abstract
My presentation will discuss the use of stem cell systems to replay human brain development, and the application of that approach to study the cell and molecular biology of cerebral cortex development in health and disease, as well as comparative studies of non-human primate development. I will also discuss how we are using these systems to study how genetic forms of Alzheimer’s disease initiate and spread through the brain.
