Neurodevelopment is such a fun field because so much is new to explore and define. But also that means it can be unclear. In our new review out this week @TrendsNeuro, we try to synthesize the confusing field of neural intermediate progenitors authors.elsevier.com/a/1msKv…

We also discuss a bit about how these progenitors can be defined, and the molecular signatures that label them as well as drive their differentiation trajectories.

We think there are important implications here. Can astrocyte reactivity be reversed in the setting of neurologic disease? Why do astrocytes present peptides via MHCII? Is this pro- or anti-inflammatory for T-cells???

There's so much more packed into this work, so please check it out as we continue to investigate these questions!!! This is all possible because of an amazing scientific collaborative team at @EmoryGenetics, @BrainOrg_Hub, and our funders at @NIH.

New lab preprint led by incredibly talented postdoc Maureen Sampson. Full thread at 🦋! biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… In the US, approximately 2.5% of pregnant women exhibit high blood Lead (Pb) levels (!!!) What is the consequence of this on the developing human brain?
