Happy to share work spearheaded by former grad student Colin Shew testing shared duplicated cis regulatory elements (CREs) using an MPRA. While we find some high effect CREs, collectively paralog differences represent modest effects accounting for observed gene expression divergence.

🔬How humans can study their own brain? Answering this question necessitates multimodal and multiscale approaches, among them human brain tissue, the topic of this issue.Every biological technology and approach cannot be accessible by each of those approaches on its own.

🧪 I summarize what we know on the evolution of human neurons: they are slow to mature and very calm. I begin to elaborate discussions on robustness and evolvability of divergent cellular processes (e.g. synaptic neoteny) and neuronal diversity beyond transcriptomic cell type identity.

Wonderful paper in @nature.com on the evolution of bepedalism in humans from the Terence Capellini lab.
Some of the genetic mechanisms identified are also active in the evolution of the brain of Homo sapiens: did a co-evolution of the brain and ilium occured?
www.nature.com/articles/s41...
The evolution of hominin bipedalism in two steps - Nature
The human pelvis exhibits distinct spatiotemporal ossification patterns and an ilium cartilage growth plate that is shifted perpendicularly compared with those of other mammals and non-human primates—two key adaptations that underlie bipedalism.

Ever wondered how robust cellular identity is to external perturbations? Here we disrupt cellular environmnent in vivo and in vitro, and find cell population specific sensitivities. Environment sculpts development yes, but not all cells are made of the same wood. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Au delà des infrastructures il y a aussi un gros travail à faire sur le comportement automobiliste marseillais : accélération sur les passages piétons quand quelqu'un traverse, non respect des feux rouges et priorités, accélération sur les vélos aux ronds-points etc.

The cerebellum isn’t just about coordinating movement. It’s implicated in nearly every domain of cognition—from language to social behavior.

But how exactly does the cerebellum contribute to action and cognition? 🧵
