Evolution of pallium, hippocampus, and cortical cell types revealed by single-cell transcriptomics in reptiles

Abstract
Evolution of the brain

Just how related are reptilian and mammalian brains? Tosches
et al.
used single-cell transcriptomics to study turtle, lizard, mouse, and human brain samples. They assessed how the mammalian six-layered cortex might be derived from the reptilian three-layered cortex. Despite a lack of correspondence between layers, mammalian astrocytes and adult neural stem cells shared evolutionary origins. General classes of interneuron types were represented across the evolutionary span, although subtypes were species-specific. Pieces of the much-folded mammalian hippocampus were represented as adjacent fields in the reptile brains.
