Accelerated evolution of oligodendrocytes in human brain

2019-04-07

Abstract excerpt

<h4>SUMMARY</h4> Recent discussions of human brain evolution have largely focused on increased neuron numbers and changes in their connectivity and expression. However, it is increasingly appreciated that oligodendrocytes play important roles in cognitive function and disease. Whether both cell-types follow similar or distinctive evolutionary trajectories is not known. We examined the transcriptomes of neurons an...
