@ohbmofficial.bsky.social, is the new OHBM abstract length really 14,000 characters? This would mean a shift from an abstract to a conference paper. If so, what are the implications for publication rights with respect to journal submissions? How are reviewers expected to review up to 40?

Thanks so much! Great to hear you enjoyed the work.

Thanks Donna! I take that as a compliment; hope the surprise wasn't too big.

Thanks, Clyde! I hope you enjoy reading it!

Thanks so much! So glad you found the work interesting. The development of lateralization is a fascinating path to explore!

Thanks Cedric! 🙏

9/ Huge thanks to @avramholmes.bsky.social @holmeslab-bhi.bsky.social and big ups to collaborators @sidchop.bsky.social and @xi-hanzhang.bsky.social across Yale & Orygen 🦘

8/ Understanding these biological bases of lateralization has profound implications for evolutionary theory and offers clues to neuropsychiatric conditions characterized by atypical lateralization patterns.

7/ Finally, our findings reveal a distinct cellular and molecular fingerprint demonstrating the brain is organized around two complementary systems: one centered around language and the other around visuospatial attention.

6/ On the cellular level, intratelencephalic-projecting neurons and microglia distributions align with hemispheric specialization, linking specific cell-types to cognitive functions like language and attention.

5/ We further discovered mitochondrial activity asymmetry aligns with this neurotransmitter axis, suggesting energy management in cells plays a pivotal role in supporting cognitive specialization.
