The People Behind the Papers – Ingvild Lynneberg Glærum, Keagan Dunville and Giulia Quattrocolo

Cajal-Retzius (CR) cells are transient neurons that control cortical lamination during development. Although most CR cells disappear before birth, a small population persists in the hippocampus postnatally for several months. In a new study, Giulia Quattrocolo and colleagues investigate the role of postnatal CR cells in establishing the hippocampal network. To find out more about the story, we caught up with first authors Ingvild Lynneberg Glærum and Keagan Dunville, and corresponding author Giulia Quattrocolo, Associate Professor at Norwegian University of Science and Technology.
