Abstract

The unique structure and function of the human brain ultimately results from the action of evolution on the human genome. In a recent issue of Cell, Fiddes et al. (2018) and Suzuki et al. (2018) describe human-specific NOTCH2 paralogs that enhance neural progenitor proliferation and expand cortical neurogenesis.
