Interspecific diversity in the neuronal composition of the mammalian cortex arises from heterochrony in neurogenesis - The EMBO Journal

Mammals share a laminar cerebral cortex, with excitatory neuron subtypes organized in distinct layers. Although this framework is conserved, subtype balance varies markedly between species due to larg...

And that’s a wrap! After years of work and wait, I've successfully defended my PhD. Massive thanks to thesis supervisor Dr. Jonaki Sen, Dr. Amitabha Bandyopadhyay. Special thanks to Dr. Sachin Kotak and external examiner, Dr. Dhananjay Huilgol.This one's for everyone who walked this road with me.

Species-specific chromatin architecture and neurogenesis mediated by a human enhancer

How human-specific DNA changes shape brain development is poorly understood. Mosti et al. discover a human enhancer, HAR1984, which drives ETV5 and TRA2B expression via human-enriched chromatin intera...
