Spatial transcriptome analysis of the fetal marmoset brain
Primates have a more developed cerebrum than rodents and have acquired higher-order brain functions. Especially in the fetal brain, the subplate layer, which plays an essential role in brain construction, is transiently thickened. Therefore, we performed Visium spatial transcriptome analysis using marmoset fetal brains to compare the primate brain formation process with mice. The aim is to elucidate primate-specific mechanisms of brain formation through interspecies comparative analysis.
