Wetenschappers van @CBD_VIB en @KU_Leuven ontdekken een onverwacht verband tussen genen betrokken bij de menselijke hersenevolutie 🧠en ontwikkelingsstoornissen @VanderhaeghenP2 👇

🧠 The human brain has a remarkably long developmental trajectory. @VanderhaeghenP2 @blibep and colleagues (@CBD_VIB @KU_Leuven) found a uniquely human link between this trajectory and neurodevelopmental disorders 👉 vibbio.tech/486eciC @ERC_Research @FWOVlaanderen
