🚀 New from the lab! How do sensory cortices "know" whether they’ll become visual or somatosensory?🧠 We uncover early modality-identity genes in cortex, some set before thalamic innervation via cell-adhesion codes, others refined by thalamic activity. @GLB_Lab @NeuroAlc
New preprint on bioRvix! We show how cortical sensory-modality identity is instructed by a combinatorial cell-adhesion and activity codes using #snRNAseq #spatialtranscriptomics #functional imaging. Led by @T_Guillamon & @lpuche_1 from @GLB_Lab. Congrats @GuilleLBendito @NeuroAlc

Brain organoid models are increasingly popular for studying brain development. A new bioelectronic system developed by our @braingeneers will allow researchers to more precisely manipulate these models, with implications for pharmaceutical research. ow.ly/GnmJ50QzoEt

Self-organizing systems have been one of the most exciting recent advances in stem cell research
However, many names & classifications are used making it challenging to convey the science
We now got together as a field to provide a nomenclature framework
Out in @Nature today👇1/9
