🧠🌟🐭 Excited to share some of my postdoc work on the evolution of dexterity!
We compared deer mice evolved in forest vs prairie habitats. We found that forest mice have:
(1) more corticospinal neurons (CSNs)
(2) better hand dexterity
(3) more dexterous climbing, which is linked to CSN number🧵

Picture this: you are running a single cell sequencing experiment and want to incorporate cells from different species, individuals, and maybe even perturbations. You process everything together to save time while reducing batch artifacts. You collect data. What do you do now?

Privileged to preview these excellent studies with @brainevodevo.bsky.social!
@jenellewallace.bsky.social
led a preview of two outstanding papers from the labs of Cecile Charrier, Pierre Vanderhaeghen, and @franckp.bsky.social that connect regulation of the tempo of synaptogenesis by the human-specific gene SRGAP2C to ASD-linked genes: authors.elsevier.com/a/1k3583BtfH...
