Congratulations Li, another impressive achievement with interesting implications and a resource for our field. Well done!
Brain cancer leverages the same tools as the developing brain 🧠! In our new study, published today in @Nature, we mapped neocortical development to explore brain cancer and neuropsychiatric risks. #stemcells #brainresearch

I am delighted to inform everyone that the next tri-annual Cortical Development meeting to be held in Sicily is now online and available for registration: corticaldevelopment.wordpres…
Looking forward to hearing from and seeing everyone in this beautiful and historic site!
The next installment of the ‘Mediterranean’ Cortical Development meeting will take place in Sicily next year! Hoping to see you all there.
Please hold the date for the next CORTICAL DEVELOPMENT MEETING in Giardini Naxos, Sicily, Italy - May 25-28, 2025 @corticaldev2022 @Kriegsteinlab @GordFishell @FloraVaccarino
Congratulations Li! Great job.
Evolutionary theorists have proposed that #neoteny is a key feature in human #evolution. Is it true? Our new paper at @Nature provides some insights into this topic—the slower development of synapses may contribute to our unique cognitive function. (1/12) nature.com/articles/s41586-0…
Great job, congratulations Madeline! @Andrews_MG

We are excited to begin an ambitious BRAIN Initiative striving to create cellular resolution spatial maps of the developing human/non-human primate brain. It involves Multidisciplinary Center with 5 institutions across the country- UCSF, Yale, U Penn, UCLA, Univ of Wisconsin.
We seek a talented Project Manager based in SF who will manage the project's data coordination across the centers, participate in data analysis and presentation, interface with NIH funders, and investigators.
This is a great opportunity for a creative person skilled at writing. with a scientific background. The salary is very competitive and includes excellent benefits. Contact [email protected] or [email protected] with interest.

Happy to share @Kriegsteinlab preprint on profiling human cortical development across prenatal and postnatal stages! Thanks to all co-authors, especially @Yonatan_Peretz, and @rebusbio @lab_paredes @cellbrowser @LabNowakowski @schirmerlab @mayersimo biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
Excited to share our most recent findings concerning species-specific synaptic maturation in developing human neocortex.
What makes humans unique? In our new preprint from the @KriegsteinLab, we generated a cross-species proteomic map of synapse development in the human, macaque, and mouse neocortex. Here is a brief summary of what we found: (1/8)

We are excited to begin an ambitious BRAIN Initiative project to create cellular resolution spatial maps of the developing human and non-human primate brain. We are now seeking a talented individual who will be located in San Francisco to serve as Project Manager.
We envision that this person would be creative and skilled at writing and importantly have a scientific background. The salary is very competitive and includes excellent benefits. Interested parties should contact [email protected] or [email protected].
This unique admin position will involve data coordination across the centers, participation in data analysis and presentation, interfacing with funders at the NIH, and interacting with all the investigators to help ensure smooth and timely progress.
I just read through the abstracts for the CorticalDevelopment meeting in Sicily. An amazing body of work. This promises to be the best of the series so far. Impressive how much was achieved during a pandemic.
I know many of you have exciting new stories to tell about brain development that have not been shared before. We have reserved 17 speaking slots at the Cortical Development meeting in Sicily next month for talks selected from attendees. Just register and submit an abstract.
Excited to have this in person meeting again at long last!
Excited to confirm that cortical development is on for May 29th to June 2nd. Here is the updated poster, now including Ed Lein of the Allen Institute and Pasko Rakic as plenary speaker! Registration limited to 250 people! Register now at: corticaldevelopment.wordpres…
