This project investigates the genetic mechanisms underlying the evolution of the human brain, particularly focusing on hominid-specific genes that influence the development of the cerebral cortex. It employs innovative models to explore how these genes affect neuron generation and differentiation.
The mechanisms underlying the evolution of the human brain constitute one of the most fascinating unresolved questions of biology.
The cerebral cortex has evolved rapidly in size and complexity in the hominid lineage, which is likely linked to quantitative and qualitative divergence in patterns of cortical development.On the other hand, comparative genomics has revealed recently the existence of a number of ""hominid-specific"" genes, which constitute attractive candidates to underlie critical a…
