Conditions like autism, depression, and Alzheimer’s may begin before birth. New research shows that key genes are already active in the fetal brain—shaping development long before symptoms emerge. neurosciencenews.com/asd-genetics-n…

Could Mental Illness Begin Before You’re Born? A new study reveals that many genes associated with brain conditions—including autism, depression, schizophrenia, and Parkinson’s—are active during the earliest stages of fetal brain development. These genes begin influencing…

A team at @Yale used morphogen gradients to generate patterned brain #organoids! 🧫 Read the @CellStemCell article: bit.ly/4jZvPWH Listen to the analysis on our latest episode: bit.ly/4k0nXEm

Today in @Nature, we report a spatial single-cell atlas of human cortical development, revealing surprisingly early specification of human cortical layers and areas. We built an interactive browser to explore the spatial data: walshlab.org/research/corte… Paper link below👇
