About

Lei Xing is an Assistant Professor at the University of Manitoba, Canada. His research focuses on the development of the human neocortex, exploring the roles of various metabolic regulators and neurotransmitters in neural stem cell proliferation and brain evolution. Recent articles investigate human-specific genetic factors and their implications for neurogenesis and cognitive flexibility.
