New preprint from the lab! We discovered a transient fluidization in the basal region of human forebrains by tracking microdroplets in cerebral organoids.This “basal fluidization”, absent in gorilla and mouse, may contribute to greater surface expansion in human forebrains

The goal of a PhD is not to learn some facts or read a few papers or learn a bunch of techniques. The goal of a PhD is to learn independence, problem solving, how to finish things you start, resilience, & gain the ability to adapt & think creatively. Learning these things is hard.

To predict the behaviour of a primate, would you rather base your guess on a closely related species or one with a similar brain shape? We looked at brains & behaviours of 70 species, you’ll be surprised!

How do epigenetic modifications contribute to human #neocortex #development? Excited to see our work out in #Neuron. We applied Epi-CyTOF and identified a novel role for PRC2 in regulating #ECM.

How important is #epigenetics for human brain?

Researchers led by @mareikealbert.bsky.social used brain organoids 🧠 🧫 and Epi-CyTOF to show that histone methylation controls how brain cells multiply and how big the organoid grows.
