Great study by @garedaba @StuartJoldham @jakob_seidlitz and colleagues, linking molecular and anatomical descriptions of the prenatal brain, now out in @NatureComms:
Molecular signatures of cortical expansion in the human foetal brain 🧠🧬

In this work we study cortical neurite and soma architecture over development using ultra-strong gradient dMRI 🧲

Neurofibromatosis (#NF1) is a neurogenetic syndrome associated with learning impairments and a predisposition for glial tumors. We find that NF1 mutation causes an intrinsic deficit in oligodendrocyte precursor cell (OPC) differentiation. A thread 🧵 1/

A collaboration with my neighboring lab is on Biorxiv.

Dr. Jianglai Wu designed a curved light sheet microscope for high-speed, large-volume imaging. He imaged an entire intact cleared mouse brain at a voxel size of 0.625 × 0.625 × 1.25 μm3 within just 3 hours, eliminating the need for image tiling. This significantly saves time and, when combined with PEGASOS tissue clearing, allows for mesoscale projectome mapping at an unprecedented speed.

Our preprint on thalamocortical connectivity in neonates is out!🧠👶 I'll do a summary later for those who have time to browse Twitter yet are too busy to read papers, but for now, I need a small break from thinking about this work😅#ittookovermylife

Today, I’m thrilled have our lab’s work featured on the cover of @Nature
In this article, we have developed a therapeutic approach for a severe condition called Timothy syndrome. This has been a long journey. It started with making hiPS cell-derived neurons in 2D cultures 15 years ago when I was a postdoc and continued with later creating in the lab #organoid and then #assembloid models of this disease caused by a mutation in a calcium channel.
Over time, these human cellular models and the biological insights we gained enable us to design a therapeutic strategy, which we validated in vivo following circuit integration of patient-derived organoids into the rat brain.
Grateful for the incredible work led by @XiaoyuChenxy and @fikribirey in the lab! And the many close collaborators who participated to this line of research over the years.
