Pollen lab

Laboratory of Alex Pollen at UCSF
Studying genetic control of human brain specializations and vulnerabilities

New review out in @NatRevNeurosci on mechanisms of prolonged human neuronal maturation! Led by postdoc @JenelleLWallace with @brainevodevo

[Jenelle Wallace @JenelleLWallace]

I'm thrilled to announce that the review I wrote with @brainevodevo is now online @NatRevNeurosci: https://t.co/JNM3Vucx2L We cover mechanisms of prolonged human neuronal maturation, integrating lessons from model organisms with studies on species differences.

Exciting Inhibitory Neurons!
Our paper from @Lab_Pollen @brainevodevo @yimmieg @LabNowakowski @UCSF is out today in @Nature! https://t.co/AA3UH4vWzG

Also a less technical blog about the findings: https://t.co/2hWxz89C9A

If you have questions, I'm happy to GABAbout it!
