Human cortical pyramidal neurons are larger, with more elaborate branching, and distinct nonlinear biophysical properties compared to rat cortical pyramidal neurons. Are they more functionally complex? Could that boost the human brain’s computational power? and is that what makes us human? (1/11)

A superb review with the latest insights on the Axon Initial Segment from @ameliefreal.bsky.social & Casper Hoogenraad, was a joy reading this 😀

A valuable post to educate our peers on this #InternationalDayofWomenandGirlsinScience Thanks @frantecol.bsky.social for putting this together. Especially relevant for these dark days for USA science🧪

Neuronal ageing is promoted by the decay of the microtubule cytoskeleton

Aging is associated with structural and functional changes in neurons thought to drive motor, sensory, and cognitive impairments. Using a Drosophila model of aging, the authors report that deteriorati...

Why is human brain development, and particularly neuron morphogenesis, so slow and how is this linked to evolution? doi.org/10.1101/2024.12.28.630576 We developed mouse brain organoid methods capturing differences to human and used these to address this. doi.org/10.1101/2024.12.21.629881 🧵 (1/n)

Calcium dynamics tune developmental tempo to generate evolutionarily divergent axon tract lengths

The considerably slow pace of human brain development correlates with an evolutionary increase in brain size, cell numbers, and expansion of neuronal structures, with axon tracts undergoing an even gr...

Excited to reconnect with old science friends and meet new ones here on Bluesky! I study human neuron development using brain organoids, other in vitro models, and lots of microscopy 🧠🔬
