Scientists Find Evolutionary Gene for Bigger Human Brain Development
There are two kinds of neural forerunners in the mammalian neocortex: apical and basal. A subtype of the last mentioned, called basal radial glial cells, are driving neocortex development in human growth. Tragically, mice have not many of them, which makes mice unsatisfactory to test whether the human-explicit gene ARHGAP11B– by means of its consequences for basal radial glial cells – can to be…
