Kudos to @TheSilverLab for so beautifully and concisely describing our work now out in print @NeuroCellPress - and for so compellingly framing all the exciting future work that we hope is to come on HARs and #HumanBrainEvolution!
Federica Mosti and I wrote this about the fascinating field of HARs, and genomic underpinnings of brain evolution. We preview an exciting @NeuroCellPress paper from the @ChrisAWalsh1 lab which comprehensively screens ~3100 HARs for enhancer activity authors.elsevier.com/a/1dxnf…
Decades of speculation finally solved with astonishing comparative #DevBio. Sauropsid cortical neurons migrate differently from mammalian neurons. That´s one small step for neuron, one giant leap for cortex. 👏Congrats Tadashi!
