Genes encoding SATB2-interacting proteins in adult cerebral cortex contribute to human cognitive ability.

During CNS development, the nuclear protein SATB2 is expressed in superficial cortical layers and determines projection neuron identity. In the adult CNS, SATB2 is expressed in pyramidal neurons of all cortical layers and is a regulator of synaptic plasticity and long-term memory. Common variation i...
