Roughly Three Million Years Ago, Human Brains Began To Expand
by Gabriela Martins January 7, 2019Even fifteen years after the human genome has been sequenced, researchers are still unsure about much of the data. Frank Jacobs of the University of Amsterdam was comparing gene expression patterns in cortical organoids grown from embryonic stem cells of…
