Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Sam Wacks"
- Sam Wacks' research focuses on the mechanisms of neuronal differentiation and circuit assembly in the developing somatosensory cortex, particularly the roles of specific genes like Cxcl14 and Gabrb3.
- In his 2024 study, Wacks highlights how Cxcl14 influences interneuron differentiation in layer I of the cortex, illustrating the interplay between gene expression and neural circuit activity.
- His earlier work in 2023 emphasizes the importance of Gabrb3 for the functional integration of pyramidal neuron subtypes, linking genetic predispositions to the functionality of inhibitory circuits associated with neurodevelopmental disorders.
