# PAX6 **Entity class:** Concept or analytic term **Type:** Developmental gene **Collection:** [[collections/Neurotech|Neurotech]] **Primary source:** [[articles/2026 Annual Report on Brain-Computer Interfaces|2026 Annual Report on Brain-Computer Interfaces]] ## Definition PAX6 is the developmental regulatory gene used in the article as an example of a modular morphogenesis control lever. ## Relationships [[wiki/PAX6|PAX6]] is related to [[wiki/Organoid Intelligence|organoid intelligence]], eye and brain development, and the article's explicitly speculative programmable-organoid trajectory. <!-- BEGIN HUMANIZED RELATIONSHIPS 2026-09-11 --> This entry's documented connections are expressed in its definition and related-work routes, with provenance retained in the source-linked material. <!-- END HUMANIZED RELATIONSHIPS 2026-09-11 --> ## Source route [[articles/2026 Annual Report on Brain-Computer Interfaces|2026 Annual Report on Brain-Computer Interfaces]] · [[collections/Neurotech|Neurotech]] ## Related Work in the Corpus <!-- BEGIN HUMANIZED CORPUS ROUTES 2026-09-11 --> - In [[articles/2026 Annual Report on Brain-Computer Interfaces|2026 Annual Report on Brain-Computer Interfaces]], **Programmable Consciousness Organoids with Developmental Cassettes** provides the narrative context for **PAX6**: The Pax6 master control gene for eye/brain morphogenesis (canonically established by Halder, Callaerts, and Gehring's 1995 ectopic eye induction paper) provides proof that biology has modular programmatic levers for morphogenesis. <!-- END HUMANIZED CORPUS ROUTES 2026-09-11 -->
