How the developing human brain takes instructions: Two studies reveal what guides its most important stem cells
Using these cells, researchers asked how metabolism impacts how these cells emerge and make decisions during development.
AI Summary
Radial glia, a type of stem cell, directs the development of the human brain before birth. These cells make billions of decisions that determine which brain cell types are produced, the timing of their appearance, and the formation of the cortex. The cortex, the region responsible for thought, memory, and language, is shaped by these radial glia choices. The studies highlight the crucial role of radial glia in establishing human‑specific brain features.
