This project investigates the evolution of vertebrate nervous systems by studying the lamprey spinal cord. It aims to identify new neural cell types and their molecular mechanisms, linking gene duplication events to increased complexity in vertebrates.
The emergence of vertebrates was accompanied by a major increase in nervous system complexity, as a sophisticated brain and spinal cord evolved to process enhanced sensory input and direct co-ordinated motor output.
Such complexity is achieved by an increase in cell number, a greater diversity of cell types and sophisticated mechanisms to organise them.
Is has long been debated whether the “2R” whole genome duplications, which occurred just before the vertebrate split, contributed to the vertebr…
