Brain cancer leverages the same tools as the developing brain 🧠! In our new study, published today in @Nature, we mapped neocortical development to explore brain cancer and neuropsychiatric risks. #stemcells #brainresearch

Evolutionary theorists have proposed that #neoteny is a key feature in human #evolution. Is it true? Our new paper at @Nature provides some insights into this topic—the slower development of synapses may contribute to our unique cognitive function. (1/12) nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

What makes humans unique? In our new preprint from the @KriegsteinLab, we generated a cross-species proteomic map of synapse development in the human, macaque, and mouse neocortex. Here is a brief summary of what we found: (1/8)
