Hub genes were specifically enriched for subplate neurons, the earliest population of neurons to mature and cirtical for the correct targeting of neural connections, as well as deep layer cortical neurons that connect across cortical areas.

We found that, by 20 weeks gestation, future cortical hubs can be identified by increased expression of genes associated with the formation and assembly of neural circuits in the subplate
genes that are associated with network connectivity in the prenatal brain include: AMIGO2, CHST2, NMT2 and EFNA5

wow - interesting application of fetal MRI - check out the figures! #neuroscience #neuroimaging
