Abstract
The development of the cerebral cortex involves the precise generation, positioning, and connectivity of neuronal cells. The activities of DNA-binding transcription factors, such as the zinc finger repressor protein ZBTB18 (aka RP58 or ZNF238), regulate the expression of downstream target genes that facilitate this process. ZBTB18 This on thesis brain aimed to development characterise and the disease. functions for ZBTB18 in cerebral cortex neurons, and the impact of genetic variation in ZBTB18 on brain development and disease. This ZBTB18 thesis has clarified the role of ZBTB18 to influence neuronal development and demonstrates a direct, causative action for
