Making a Notch in the Evolution of the Human Cortex

Publication date: 4 June 2018
Source:Developmental Cell, Volume 45, Issue 5
Author(s): Sara Bizzotto, Christopher A. Walsh
The unique structure and function of the human brain ultimately results from the action of evolution on the human genome. In a recent issue of Cell, Fiddes et al. (2018) and Suzuki et al. (2018) describe human-specific NOTCH2 paralogs that enhance neural progenitor proliferation and expand cortical neurogenesis.
