Thrilled to shared our new preprint with @djabaudon.bsky.social ! Led by Ilaria Morassut, we explored "the extent to which early brain maturation requires interactions with the outside world". This wouldn't have been possible without our incredible collaborators, specially the @lanevol.bsky.social 🧵

Why does the forebrain expand dramatically while other neural regions grow less? Our new publication reveals progenitor metabolism critically shapes region-specific brain growth. Thread below. authors.elsevier.com/a/1k-udL7PXu...
Using scRNA sequencing of all ventricular progenitors, we found genes with spatially and temporally restricted expression (baumannn.shinyapps.io/Ventriculome). Amongst these, the mitochondrial protein Fam210b was expressed where and when cell-cycle is the longest.
As a first step to address this question, we built a spatio-temporal atlas of neuronal birth across brain structures, available at neurobirth.org (use your PC to navigate), building on Altman and Bayer’s seminal work on brain development (www.neurondevelopment.org).
🎉 Excited to share that our paper on FCDII is out today! 🙌🏻 Huge thanks to @sbaulac.bsky.social and @sara baldassari for bringing me on board and introducing me to the complexity of somatic mutations. Hope our work helps advance understanding of the disease mechanisms.
