This seminar will bring together 2 outstanding comparative developmental and evolutionary neuroscientists who will present their work in 20-minute-talks, followed by an interactive discussion with the audience:

The evolution of Cajal-Retzius cells by cell type neofunctionalization

Cell types versus cellular identities in nudibranch molluscs

Bringing together different expertise, approaches, and a range of species across vertebrates and invertebrates, we look forward to discussing with everyone your thoughts on how we should think about homology, both in vertebrate cell types and in invertebrate neurones with individual identities. Join us for a lively exchange!

Evolution of brain cell types
