AP2gamma - New Key Gene In Nerve Regeneration

A new gene called AP2gamma has been discovered that researchers say is crucial for the neural development of the visual cortex. The cerebral cortex is the folded, outside layer of the brain, involving it like a tree bark. It is also the most recent brain structure having appeared with mammals - where is responsible for higher brain functions including memory, thought and reasoning but also sensory responses - and is organized in several layers of neurons, with different cortical areas (with distinct neural anatomy) performing different functions. read more
