The human brain begins with just a single cell, yet it eventually develops into one of the most complex structures known to science. For decades, researchers have tried to understand how billions of cells find their proper place during development. New work from Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory offers a fresh perspective on that mystery. Reports suggest the answer may lie not only in chemical signals but also in family lineage between cells, as per a report by Science Daily.
Reports published in Neuron indicate that cellular lineage, working alongside chemical signals, could help explain how developing brains organize themselves on such a massive scale.
