Thrilled to shared our new preprint with @djabaudon.bsky.social ! Led by Ilaria Morassut, we explored "the extent to which early brain maturation requires interactions with the outside world". This wouldn't have been possible without our incredible collaborators, specially the @lanevol.bsky.social 🧵

Using scRNA sequencing of all ventricular progenitors, we found genes with spatially and temporally restricted expression (baumannn.shinyapps.io/Ventriculome). Amongst these, the mitochondrial protein Fam210b was expressed where and when cell-cycle is the longest.

Why do people still use the term "Malformations of Cortical Development" (MCD)? A malformation is a developmental process, there is no need for redundancy; development cannot be malformed. "Cortical Malformations" (CM) alone does the job. Just like the gulf of Mexico is the gulf of Mexico.
