Disruption of KCC2 in Parvalbumin-Positive Interneurons Is Associated With a Decreased Seizure Threshold and a Progressive…

GABA A receptors are ligand-gated ion channels, which are predominantly permeable for chloride. The neuronal K-Cl cotransporter KCC2 lowers the intraneuronal chloride concentration and thus plays an important role for GABA signaling. KCC2 loss-of-function is associated with seizures and epilepsy. Here,…

Single cell transcriptomics reveal regulators of progenitor cell fate and postmitotic maturation during brain development

In this thesis the NanoString nCounter technology was applied to validate an improved PCR-based strategy for quantitative and qualitative global single cell transcriptome analysis. RNA isolates from whole tissue were quantitatively compared with cDNA amplificates prepared from single cell equivalent…
