Researchers reveal key developmental difference between the brains of modern humans and Neandertals
Dr. Anneline Pinson and Prof. Dr. Wieland B. Huttner
AZoLifesciences speaks to Dr. Anneline Pinson and Prof. Dr. Wieland B. Huttner from The Max Planck Institute of Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics about their latest research which found a greater neuron production in the frontal lobe during brain development in modern humans than Neandertals, due to the change of a single amino acid in the protein TKTL1.
