Amazing comparative study from @djabaudon.bsky.social lab between mus musculus and Acomys (spiny mouse) brain development!

Loving this new preprint -- such a clever way to examine the question of the importance (or not!) of sensory experience in shaping cortical development. I wish we could have cited this in our discussion on altricial/precocial animals last year.

still fascinated by the barrel cortex

Excellent new preprint by @sroig.bsky.social @djabaudon.bsky.social & collaborators on the prenatal assembly of functional cortical circuits. Great discussion of maturation www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... 🧪🧠

Thrilled to shared our new preprint with @djabaudon.bsky.social ! Led by Ilaria Morassut, we explored "the extent to which early brain maturation requires interactions with the outside world". This wouldn't have been possible without our incredible collaborators, specially the @lanevol.bsky.social 🧵

I'm very excited to finally see this one out in @natneuro.nature.com ! It has been an incredible journey alongside extremely talented people! Thanks to everyone involved and enjoy the reading! 1/n www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Great @natneuro.nature.com study by @sroig.bsky.social @djabaudon.bsky.social @jbmanent.bsky.social & colleagues, showing “equivalent circuits can emerge in different spatial configurations, allowing diverse brain architectures to converge on similar functional outcomes” 🧪🧠🧬

Very happy to have contributed to this wonderful/tentacular work alongside so many amazing colleagues and friends! It opens up new ways of understanding grey matter heterotopia associated with altered cortical function and #epilepsy in humans. 🧠🧪🔥 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Ever wondered how robust cellular identity is to external perturbations? Here we disrupt cellular environmnent in vivo and in vitro, and find cell population specific sensitivities. Environment sculpts development yes, but not all cells are made of the same wood. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Very happy to have contributed to this great story 🧠🚀. It focuses on environment-dependent neuronal identity acquisition in the cortex! Big congrats to Natalia Baumann, Ilaria Morassut and Sabine Fièvre for pushing this w/ @djabaudon.bsky.social. Congrats to all! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

White matter (WM) #astrocytes differ significantly from grey matter (GM) astrocytes, with WM astrocytes in the forebrain exhibiting unique proliferation capacity 🧪🧠 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Delighted to have this out as a preprint! Thanks to all authors, especially @estherkli.bsky.social and @djabaudon.bsky.social for leading the work. If you are interested in how conserved genes played a part in evolving human brains, give it a read!

✨ We tend to think of species-specific differences as resulting from the presence of species-specific genes. In our latest work with @djabaudon.bsky.social, we show that building brains is not only about which genes you use, but also about when and where you do. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
