In humans, intellectual disabilities occur when nerve cells in the neocortex, the most complicated area of the brain, fail to function correctly. The goal of this project is to understand how neocortical areas communicate and how changes in the structure of neurons disturb their function; work that will lead to a better understanding of the operation of the neocortex.

在人类中，当大脑中最复杂的区域--新皮质中的神经细胞无法正常运作时，就会发生智力障碍。该项目的目标是了解新皮质区域如何通信以及神经元结构的变化如何干扰其功能；这项工作将导致更好地了解新皮质的运作。
