The symposium will explore various aspects of human cortical development, including cellular and molecular mechanisms regulating cell number and diversity, migration and circuit assembly from the beginning of cortical plate formation until birth. We have selected speakers to invite from around the world who will describe how advances in developmental neurobiology, organoids, transcriptomics and imaging are offering new insights into the mechanisms controlling the development of the human cerebral cortex, as well as the developmental abnormalities and clinical advances.
