Biography

Setsuko Sahara's research focuses on the development of the mammalian neocortex, which serves as the control center for behavior, thought, and intellectual abilities. She is particularly interested in understanding the molecular mechanisms that underlie cortical progenitor differentiation and cortical development. Her work aims to decode mechanisms that are crucial for understanding how brains undergo healthy development and what happens in the case of brain-related psychiatric disorders. Furthermore, she strives to develop novel strategies to regenerate the damaged nervous system. Her key publications include research on the scaling of cortical GABAergic neurons and genetic mechanisms controlling sensory areas.
