Evolutionary Expansion of Human Cerebellar Germinal Zones

Matthew G Keefe et al. Trends Neurosci. 2020 Feb.

Abstract

Haldipur et al. explored the developmental origins of the human cerebellum, which has gained growing appreciation for its involvement in human cognition. The authors discovered human-unique expansion and maintenance of cerebellar germinal zones, reminiscent of processes in the developing human cerebral cortex necessary for generating expanded neuronal populations.

Keywords: brain evolution; cerebellar development; human neurogenesis.
