I suspect we're going to look back at this set of papers as a turning point in our understanding of brain development. One of these "oh finally they had the tools to reveal how things really are" moments where the next generation won't understand how anyone could have thought otherwise.
We begin the New Year with two preprints on hypothalamic development. The first, part of a long-term collaboration with Marysia Placzek’s group, investigates the organization of the developing forebrain, and show that current models are (mostly) incorrect./1

Income Inequality Reshapes Children’s Brains and Mental Health - Neuroscience News
A large-scale neuroimaging study of over 10,000 U.S. children reveals that income inequality in society is tied to structural and functional brain changes that predict poorer mental health outcomes.
