Possible Mechanism for Fold Formation in the Cerebral Cortex Discovered

– This work shows that epigenetic marks are a key mechanism in the instructions that genes receive to express themselves and generate folds.– The Cux2 protein can alter the pattern of brain folding in ferrets and induce it in mice. “Gene regulatory landscape of cerebral cortex folding2”. Singh A, Del-Valle-Anton L, de Juan Romero C, […]

Researchers at the Institute for Neurosciences have discovered the involvement of parallel lineages of stem cells in the generation of neurons

• This finding represents a significant step towards a greater knowledge of the process of generating neurons, known as neurogenesis.• Researchers propose that the existence of parallel lineages influences the folding of the cerebral cortex. Multiple parallel cell lineages in the developing mammalian cerebral cortex. Del-Valle-Anton L, Amin S, Cimino D, Neuhaus F, Dvoretskova E, […]
