We are delighted to share our new preprint entitled “Developmental origins and evolution of pallial cell types and structures in birds” biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

AVIAN ALERT! Thanks to a privileged collaboration with Kaessmann Lab & Bassi Zaremba here is the long-awaited chicken🐣 pallium atlas! Cell types in adults & development, spatial-omics and a full comparison with other species. MANY glutamatergic surprises! shorturl.at/bhoC0

Bassi Zaremba and @Kaessmannlab performed the first and most comprehensive atlas of cell types in the pallium of birds 🐣🐔🐤and other amniotes. When comparing them to mammals, we found a great diversification of neurons! shorturl.at/2Yi61

So excited to announce that our study on the development and evolution of pallial cell types and structures in birds led by Bassi Zaremba is now out in Science Magazine! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… PS: this is our last post here – please follow us to where the sky is blue!

One more - really final - post here after all: please check out the wonderful Perspective by @matosches and Giacomo Gattoni on our paper and those of our colleagues from the Aerts and Fernando García-Moreno groups. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… Please follow us to where the sky is blue!

New papers in Science provide evidence for the convergent development and evolution of neurons and their connections in the bird and mammalian pallia, highlighting the need for multiple perspectives in brain comparative studies. Learn more in a new #SciencePerspective:
