Vermaercke B, Iwata R, Wierda K, Boubakar L, Rodriguez P, Ditkowska M, et al.
Neuron . 2024 Aug; 112(18):3058-3068.e8. PMID: 39111306
Human brain ontogeny is characterized by a considerably prolonged neotenic development of cortical neurons and circuits. Neoteny is thought to be essential for the acquisition of advanced cognitive functions, which...

Vermaercke B, Bonin V, Vanderhaeghen P
Cell . 2022 Dec; 185(26):4869-4872. PMID: 36563661
Despite its importance to understanding human brain (dys)function, it has remained challenging to study human neurons in vivo. Recent approaches, using transplantation of human cortical neurons into the rodent brain,...

Shah D, Gsell W, Wahis J, Luckett E, Jamoulle T, Vermaercke B, et al.
Cell Rep . 2022 Aug; 40(8):111280. PMID: 36001964
Dysfunctions of network activity and functional connectivity (FC) represent early events in Alzheimer's disease (AD), but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Astrocytes regulate local neuronal activity in the healthy brain,...

Han X, Vermaercke B, Bonin V
Nat Commun . 2022 Jun; 13(1):3249. PMID: 35668056
The cerebral cortex contains diverse neural representations of the visual scene, each enabling distinct visual and spatial abilities. However, the extent to which representations are distributed or segregated across cortical...

Schnell A, Van den Bergh G, Vermaercke B, Gijbels K, Bossens C, Op de Beeck H
J Vis . 2019 Dec; 19(14):9. PMID: 31826254
Rodents have become a popular model in vision science. It is still unclear how vision in rodents relates to primate vision when it comes to complex visual tasks. Here we...

Linaro D, Vermaercke B, Iwata R, Ramaswamy A, Libe-Philippot B, Boubakar L, et al.
Neuron . 2019 Nov; 104(5):972-986.e6. PMID: 31761708
How neural circuits develop in the human brain has remained almost impossible to study at the neuronal level. Here, we investigate human cortical neuron development, plasticity, and function using a...

Stroobants S, Damme M, Van der Jeugd A, Vermaercke B, Andersson C, Fogh J, et al.
Neurobiol Dis . 2017 Jul; 106:255-268. PMID: 28720484
Alpha-mannosidosis is a glycoproteinosis caused by deficiency of lysosomal acid alpha-mannosidase (LAMAN), which markedly affects neurons of the central nervous system (CNS), and causes pathognomonic intellectual dysfunction in the clinical...

Pooters T, Laeremans A, Gantois I, Vermaercke B, Arckens L, DHooge R
PLoS One . 2017 May; 12(5):e0176295. PMID: 28467439
Neurons in anterior cingulate cortex (aCC) project to dorsomedial striatum (DMS) as part of a corticostriatal circuit with putative roles in learning and other cognitive functions. In the present study,...

Cereb Cortex . 2016 May; 26(7):3310-22. PMID: 27146315
In recent years, the rodent has come forward as a candidate model for investigating higher level visual abilities such as object vision. This view has been backed up substantially by...
