4/11 Early ancestors' brains kept growing larger and more complex, but failed to reach maturity in the womb.
Babies emerged less mature than other species - deeply vulnerable and demanding constant care.

Three amazing days of the #neurogen2025 conference at @humantechnopole.bsky.social in Milan. Many thanks to all the participants, speakers and fellow co-organizers. We heard fantastic talks in #neurodevelopment #brainevolution #cancerneuroscience #neuroimmunology #neurodegeneration #neurodiversity
Over 100 scientists gathered in Alicante for #ECCN2025 to explore how nervous systems evolve across species. The 11th European Conference on Comparative #Neurobiology featured cutting-edge research from around the world 👇

Rethinking brain evolution: Birds and mammals took different paths: Scientists found that evolution led bird and mammal brains to evolve separately, using different genetic instructions.

Subtle DNA changes shaped human brain evolution: Researchers discovered how genetic switches shaped human brain evolution by fine-tuning shared gene expression.

An interesting and thought-provoking article about the evolution of the brain, its size, and the theories on why it began to shrink millennia ago—possibly triggered by social and “technological” advances.

Emotions aren’t hardwired—they’re constructed.
Brain evolution shapes feelings, behaviors, and creativity through affective neuroscience.

Exciting discovery: A human gene linked to larger brain size has been traced back to non-protein-coding "junk" DNA, highlighting the hidden potential within our genome.

Human brains didn’t just evolve—they hacked their own systems. Accelerated, cell-type-specific regulatory evolution reveals how neurons and glial cells specialize for peak performance. Evolution’s most advanced OS update. #Corpowars #BrainEvolution
Read about my favourite historical scientist, Tilly Edinger, in this article I wrote (in the French Conversation): “Tilly Edinger, ses moulages de cerveaux fossiles et son exil d’Allemagne nazie”
