Sharing our newest study led by the incredibly talented @federicamosti.bsky.social investigating new molecular mechanisms of human brain development. We discover a human-specific enhancer HAR1984 that influences chromatin looping to promote cortical size and folding! www.biorxiv.org/cgi/content/...

It was an honor to be part of such an amazing Cajal course on synapse biology, amazing lineup of speakers and projects, and to connect with Europe! A big thank to the organizers Cecile Charrier and Julien Dupuis and to all the instructors!

Thank you @carneyinstitute.bsky.social for summarizing our paper on the olfactory cortex for a broader audience!
New findings published in @natureneuro.bsky.social by the lab of Alexander Fleischmann, Provost's Professor of Brain Science at Brown University, show surprising similarities between the mouse olfactory cortex and the cerebral cortices of reptiles and amphibians. bit.ly/4joIGkr #BrownBrainScience 🧠
The reptile brain is real
Carney scientists have discovered that the part of the cerebral cortex that processes smell is similar in mice, reptiles and amphibians–a surprising finding that rewrites the story about the evolution...
