Why does the forebrain expand dramatically while other neural regions grow less? Our new publication reveals progenitor metabolism critically shapes region-specific brain growth. Thread below. authors.elsevier.com/a/1k-udL7PXu...

Using scRNA sequencing of all ventricular progenitors, we found genes with spatially and temporally restricted expression (baumannn.shinyapps.io/Ventriculome). Amongst these, the mitochondrial protein Fam210b was expressed where and when cell-cycle is the longest.

As a first step to address this question, we built a spatio-temporal atlas of neuronal birth across brain structures, available at neurobirth.org (use your PC to navigate), building on Altman and Bayer’s seminal work on brain development (www.neurondevelopment.org).

🎉 Excited to share that our paper on FCDII is out today! 🙌🏻 Huge thanks to @sbaulac.bsky.social and @sara baldassari for bringing me on board and introducing me to the complexity of somatic mutations. Hope our work helps advance understanding of the disease mechanisms.

Delighted to showcase our atlas for the inference of ligand-receptor mediated interactions between neuronal subtypes during mouse cortex development. Herculean endeavor by former PhD student Rémi Mathieu (now @alleninstitute.bsky.social) and team, in collaboration with @LudovicTelley Thread 🧵

"Many drugs on the market today were studied only in cis men, and cis women are 50-75% more likely to have adverse reactions to medications... this stems from subtle differences in metabolism that weren’t accounted for during clinical trials because no female participants were involved."

✨ 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...

Why do people still use the term "Malformations of Cortical Development" (MCD)? A malformation is a developmental process, there is no need for redundancy; development cannot be malformed. "Cortical Malformations" (CM) alone does the job. Just like the gulf of Mexico is the gulf of Mexico.

A valuable post to educate our peers on this #InternationalDayofWomenandGirlsinScience Thanks @frantecol.bsky.social for putting this together. Especially relevant for these dark days for USA science🧪
