Human Brain Evolution: The Role of SRGAP2 and SYNGAP in Synaptic Development

Discover the fascinating process of synaptic development in the human brain and how it differs from other mammals. Explore the role of proteins SRGAP2 and SYNGAP in controlling the pace of this development, and their potential impact on cognitive functions and neurodevelopmental conditions. Learn about the 'tug-of-war' between these proteins and how it influences the maturation of synapses, leading to unique human cognitive abilities and possibly autism or intellectual disabilities. This video delves into the latest research from Vanderhaeghen's lab, including chimeric mice models and human neuron transplantation, offering insights into the complex interplay of proteins in brain evolution and function.
