🧠 Fascinating day at 2026 MRC CNDD symposium on how environment shapes neurodevelopment.
🌎 Inspiring talks on cannabis & psychosis, maternal COVID-19, influence of environment in autism & epilepsy, and immune–brain links, among more!
🎤Huge thanks to speakers, attendees and organisers!
Congratulations to the @aims2trials.bsky.social team who have been awarded a EURORDIS-Rare Diseases Black Pearl Award for Patient Engagement, for their commitment to involving patients as equal partners in research. 🏆 🧠

A ‘tour de force’! First description of human early telencephalon patterning & signalling centre dynamics, coupling transcriptomics & 4D gene expression imaging.
➡️ Human forebrain is distinct from mouse as soon at anterior neural plate closes. First @crick.ac.uk paper from @houartlab.bsky.social
Shaping the Brain: Environmental Influences on Neurodevelopmental Conditions
✨ That’s a wrap on the 15th #EURPRDISAWARDS2026!
Tonight in Brussels and online, we celebrated leaders driving change in the rare disease community.
Congrats to all our awardees! 🎥 https://go.eurordis.org/BPA2026
Excited to share our new #preprint uncovering how early human forebrain is patterned.
Compared to mouse, human dorsoventral and anteroposterior telencephalon patterning is strikingly delayed, which is correlated with SHH and FGF signalling differences.
