📋 Tender Overview
The Ancestral Vertebrate Brain And Its Cellular Diversification During Evolution
Brain Evolutionvertebrates Appear On Fossil Records More Than 500 Million Years Old, And The Invertebrate–Vertebrate Divide Is A Fundamental Biological Event. One Of The Vertebrate Novelties Was The Differentiated Brain, Which Continued To Evolve Among Different Lineages. The Key Objective Of The Eu-Funded Vertebrain Project Is To Investigate How Cells In The Vertebrate Brain Have Evolved And Diverged Over The Years. Researchers Will Undertake Extensive Transcriptomic And Epigenetic Analysis Of Single Cells To Determine The Molecular Changes That Have Taken Place During Evolution. Moreover, They Will Focus On Different Vertebrate Structures That Are Associated With Cognition.
