The mammalian cerebral cortex is an area of the brain responsible for all higher order cognitive processes. I investigate how connections from between the two cerebral hemispheres during embryonic and foetal development, thus enabling the brain to coordinate information from the two sides of the body. Malformations of these connections cause mental retardation and sensory and motor deficits. I want to understand how these brain defects occur and how best to treat them.

哺乳动物的大脑皮层是大脑中负责所有高级认知过程的区域。我研究了在胚胎和胎儿发育期间两个大脑半球之间的连接，从而使大脑能够协调来自身体两侧的信息。这些连接的畸形会导致智力迟钝、感觉和运动缺陷。我想了解这些大脑缺陷是如何发生的，以及如何最好地治疗它们。
