Abstract

Namba et al. demonstrate that increased glutaminolysis is essential for the ability of human-specific ARHGAP11B, which is localized in mitochondria, to increase cycling basal progenitor levels in developing neocortex, an effect implicated in the evolutionary expansion of the human neocortex.
