A Role for Astrocyte Metabolism in Species-Specific Neuronal Development

2026-07-17

Abstract excerpt

Human neurons develop more slowly than non-human primate (NHP) neurons, a phenomenon called neoteny, but research has primarily focused on neuron-intrinsic drivers. We hoped to further elucidate any species-specific divergence in function and the astrocytes’ role in influencing species-specific neurodevelopment rate. In this study, we identified a delayed onset of gliogenesis in human versus NHP organoid models. T...
