A new cell type drove human brain complexity

ABAntonela BonafinaUniversity of Liège LNLaurent NguyenUniversity of Liège

Key Points

The research aims to explore the acquisition of new interneurons related to human brain complexity.
Analysis of cell types in human brain tissues
Comparison with non-human primate brain structures
Investigation of neurodevelopmental pathways
Identified a novel type of interneuron contributing to brain complexity
Demonstrated increased interneuron diversity in human brains compared to non-human primates
Suggests that this cell type may play a crucial role in cognitive functions

Abstract

How did the human brain acquire a vast repertoire of interneurons?
