Collapse Overview 
Collapse Overview
The Campbell lab studies the extrinsic pathways and intrinsic instructions that control neuronal fate. We study this process in cortical interneurons because they are exceptionally diverse, critically important for brain function, and implicated in the pathophysiology of neurodevelopmental diseases such as autism. Using stem cell and mouse models we aim to study the intersection of different regulatory networks that underlie cellular specification, with a special interest in their link to human disease.

Altmetrics Details PMC Citations indicate the number of times the publication was cited by articles in PubMed Central, and the Altmetric score represents citations in news articles and social media. (Note that publications are often cited in additional ways that are not shown here.) Fields are based on how the National Library of Medicine (NLM) classifies the publication's journal and might not represent the specific topic of the publication. Translation tags are based on the publication type and the MeSH terms NLM assigns to the publication. Some publications (especially newer ones and publications not in PubMed) might not yet be assigned Field or Translation tags.) Click a Field or Translation tag to filter the publications.
