I am a neurologist and a developmental neuroscientist with a lifelong fascination with the workings of the human brain.
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 nature.com/articles/s4158…
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
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) biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
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.wordpress.com Looking forward to hearing from and seeing everyone in this beautiful and historic site!
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/s4158…
Great job, congratulations Madeline! @Andrews_MG

Happy New Year from the Kriegstein Lab! Looking forward to a great year.
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/10.110…
Very excited to begin spatial transcriptomic studies with our new Rebus Esper platform.
Excited about the new spatial transcriptomics platform @rebusbio @Kriegsteinlab @stem_at
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.wordpress.com/registration/
We are recruiting new postdocs. Especially interested in someone with bioinformatics experience to work on human brain development and related diseases.
