Evolutionary Gain of Dbx1 Expression Drives Subplate Identity in the Cerebral Cortex

Summary: Changes in transcriptional regulation through cis-regulatory elements are thought to drive brain evolution. However, how this impacts the identity of primate cortical neurons is still unresolved. Here, we show that primate-specific cis-regulatory sequences upstream of the Dbx1 gene promote...
