Cortical neurogenesis from pluripotent stem cells: complexity emerging from simplicity

Open access
Anderson, Stewart, Vanderhaeghen, Pierre·2014·Current Opinion in Neurobiology

Abstract

The cerebral cortex contains dozens of neuronal subtypes grouped in specific layers and areas. Recent studies have revealed how embryonic and induced pluripotent stem cells (PSC) can differentiate into a wide diversity of cortical neurons in vitro, while recapitulating many of the temporal and spatial features that characterize corticogenesis. PSC-derived neurons can integrate into the brain following in vivo transplantation and display patterns of morphology and connectivity specific of cortical neurons. PSC-corticogenesis thus emerges as a robust model that provides new ways to link cortical development, evolution, and disease.

  • Human PSC-derived pyramidal cortical neurons and interneurons transplanted in the mouse brain develop morphologically and synaptically within their host.

    “Human PSC-derived pyramidal cortical neurons and interneurons transplanted in the mouse brain develop morphologically and synaptically within their host”

    From Xenotransplanted human cortical neurons reveal species-specific development and functional integration into mouse visual circuits (2019) · cites this paper as Anderson and Vanderhaeghen, 2014

    The Modeling temporal patterns of corticogenesis section (page not provided) reports that transplanted human PSC-derived pyramidal neurons develop complex dendrites, spines, and functional synaptic activity in mouse cortex, but only after prolonged maturation. For transplanted interneurons, it reports limited terminal differentiation even after six months; the synaptogenesis finding concerns co-culture with mouse neurons, not transplantation. The claim therefore overextends the evidence for interneurons developing synaptically within the host. (LLM, conf=0.87)

  • Xenotransplantation of human neurons into the mouse brain can provide a means to study human neuronal maturation under more physiologically realistic conditions.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
