Using mouse models validated against human preterm tissue, Sanidas et al. show that hypoxia and maternal immune activation disrupt cerebellar development in different ways, leading to distinct motor and social difficulties. shorturl.at/QO7dr

Othram Studios Join to Help Solve Cases Carla Walker's murder went unsolved for 46 years. Solving it put forensic genetic genealogy on trial in a Texas courtroom and inspired the Carla Walker Act in Congress. Thousands of cases can be solved the same way.

The Brain Is Two Separate Organs Joined by Evolution - Neuroscience News neurosciencenews.com/brain-s… Rather than originating from a single ancestral progenitor cell, the brain forms via two parallel lineages: an Otx2-expressing lineage destined for the forebrain and midbrain, and a separate Gbx2-expressing lineage that builds the hindbrain.
