The authors show that the oncogene Bcl6 is necessary for proper cortical neurogenesis in vivo and from embryonic stem cells. BCL6 alters the composition of Notch-dependent transcriptional complexes at the Hes5 promoter, including the recruitment of Sirt1, to promote transition to a neurogenic fate despite active Notch signaling.
