Transcriptional mechanisms mediated by the binding of transcription factors (TFs) to cis-acting regulatory elements (CREs) in DNA play crucial roles in directing gene expression. While TFs have been extensively studied, less effort has gone towards the identification and functional characterization of CREs and associated epigenetic modulation. However, owing to methodological and analytical advances, more comprehensive studies of regulatory elements and mechanisms are now possible. We summarize recent progress in integrative analyses of these regulatory components in the development of the cerebral neocortex, the part of the brain involved in cognition and complex behavior. These studies are uncovering not only the underlying transcriptional regulatory networks, but also how these networks are altered across species and in neurological and psychiatric disorders.
