To better understand the neurotoxic effects of diverse hazards on the developing human
nervous system, researchers and clinicians rely on data collected from a number of model …

Organismal development requires the reproducible unfolding of an ordered sequence of
discrete steps (cell fate determination, migration, tissue folding, etc.) in both time and space …

The evolution of gene expression in mammalian organ development remains largely
uncharacterized. Here we report the transcriptomes of seven organs (cerebrum, cerebellum …

Differential speeds in biochemical reactions have been proposed to be responsible for the
differences in developmental tempo between mice and humans. However, the underlying …

The staging of human embryos, as distinct from seriation, depends on a morphological
scheme devised by Streeter and completed by O'Rahilly, who proposed the term Carnegie …

INTRODUCTION The basic human body plan, the arrangement of organs in the body, is laid
down during embryonic development. Insight into the formation of this plan informs …

We sought to obtain novel insights into schizophrenia pathogenesis by exploiting the
association between the disorder and chromosomal copy number (CNV) burden. We …

Most vertebrates communicate acoustically, but few, among them humans, dolphins and
whales, bats, and three orders of birds, learn this trait. FOXP2 is the first gene linked to …

Human skeletal stem cells (SSCs) have been discovered in fetal and adult long bones.
However, the spatiotemporal ontogeny of human embryonic SSCs during early …

The new edition of The Embryonic Human Brain: An Atlas of Developmental Stages
represents the integration of analysis of the serial sections of human embryos in the …
