What actually happened
The cerebral cortex is densely packed with different nerve cells that enable us to perceive, think and act. Yet how these cell types arise as the brain develops is still not fully understood. Irene Varela-Martínez, a postdoctoral researcher at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA), traces their origins like a family tree detective for nerve cells.
