Heterochronic scaling of neurogenesis for species-specific dosing of cortical excitatory subtypes

Yuki Yamauchi, Xuanhao D. Sheu, Rafat Tarfder, Takuma Kumamoto, Jun Hatakeyama, Haruka Sato, Pauline Rouillard, Merve Bilgic, Shuto Deguchi, Tomonori Nakamura, Yusuke Kishi, Kazuo Emoto, Ikuo Suzuki

The paper shows that species-specific differences in cortical excitatory neuron subtypes arise from non-uniform scaling of neurogenesis timing, regulated by Wnt signaling in rats.

Truncated radial glia as a common precursor in the late corticogenesis of gyrencephalic mammals

Merve Bilgic, Quan Wu, Taeko Suetsugu, Atsunori Shitamukai, Yuji Tsunekawa, Tomomi Shimogori, Mitsutaka Kadota, Osamu Nishimura, Shigehiro Kuraku, Hiroshi Kiyonari, Fumio Matsuzaki

The paper identifies truncated radial glia (tRG) as a conserved progenitor subtype in ferret and human corticogenesis, showing their role in brain expansion.
