Home Care In Pinson, AL

Home Care Pinson, AL

They say that your golden years are the best years of your life. For most older Americans, that's how it should be - a time to relax, reflect, and live life in a familiar place. After all, senior citizens in the U.S. have worked tirelessly to build a better economy, serve their communities, and raise families.

However, as seniors grow older, completing daily tasks like showering and enjoying activities such as visiting the historic Sloss Furnaces National Historic Landmark gets harder without someone by their side. Unfortunately, many older Americans aren't able to rely on their adult children for help. The reality in today's world is that family members do not have the skills or time to dedicate to caring for their parents. That's where Always Best Care Senior Services comes in.

Our in-home care services are for people who prefer to stay at home as they grow older but need ongoing care that family or friends cannot provide. More and more older adults prefer to live far away from long-term, institutionalized facilities and closer to the place where they feel most comfortable - their home. Home care in Pinson, AL is a safe, effective way to give your loved ones the care they need when they need it the most.

The Always Best Care Difference

Since 1996, Always Best Care has provided non-medical in-home care for seniors to help them maintain a healthy lifestyle as they get older. We are proud to have helped more than 25,000 seniors maintain higher levels of dignity and respect. We focus on providing seniors with the highest level of in-home care available so that they may live happily and independently.

Unlike some senior care companies, we genuinely want to be included in our clients' lives. We believe that personalized care is always the better option over a "one size fits all" approach. To make sure our senior clients receive the best care possible, we pair them with compassionate caregivers who understand their unique needs. That way, they may provide care accordingly without compromising their wellbeing.

The Always Best Care difference lies in life's little moments - where compassionate care and trustworthy experience come together to help seniors live a fruitful, healthy life. Whether you are an aging adult that can't quite keep up with life's daily tasks or the child of a senior who needs regular in-home services, Always Best Care is here to help.

“My family has been so fortunate to have Eloise Shaw caring for our mom for these last 3 years. She is exceptional in every way: is truly caring, has a top-notch professional work ethic, has an uncanny ability to use humor to defuse difficult situations (our mom can be pretty grumpy at times), has a wonderful disposition, and is always open to suggestions. Mom was not happy about having a caregiver or a stranger in her home, but Eloise wiggled her way into Mom’s heart. Always Best Care is lucky to have Eloise, and so are we! Thank you!”

Before I begin with a new client, they share details of the care plan (even about the animals & family members). On occasion, while on duty I have been visited by the office staff to check in on things. I see them love on the client just like I do! It’s not a question of why Always Best Care. My question would be why NOT Always Best Care? I’m ecstatic about Always Best Care and I tell all my friends. I’m trying to bring them all aboard!”

I work nightshift, and they have been pretty accommodating with contacting me during the hours I am usually able to talk or getting back with me whenever I leave a message. My grandmother is almost 95; she is stubborn, set in her ways, and has dementia. Sometimes it's hard to get her moving, out of bed, or to do anything. The caregiver is very patient with her. Overall, she likes having a different companion than the family member that was staying there. Having someone different in the house has been a lot better.”

Carolyn was very well trained to care for her and really helped her with her icing after care products.

What is Non-Medical Senior Care in Pinson, AL?

lm-check

Home is where the heart is. While that saying can sound a tad cliche, it is especially true for many seniors living in America. When given a choice, older adults most often prefer to grow older at home. An AARP study found that three out of four adults over the age of 50 want to stay in their homes and communities as they age.

lm-check

When you begin to think about why, it makes sense. Home offers a sense of security, comfort, and familiarity.

lm-check

The truth is, as we age, we begin to rely on others for help. When a family is too busy or lives too far away to fulfill this role, in-home senior care is often the best solution. Home care services allow seniors to enjoy personal independence while also receiving trustworthy assistance from a trained caregiver.

lm-check

At Always Best Care, we offer a comprehensive range of home care services to help seniors stay healthy while they get the help they need to remain independent. As your senior loved one gets older, giving them the gift of senior care is one of the best ways to show your love, even if you live far away.

Home Care Pinson, AL
Respite Care

Respite Care Services

According to AARP, more than 53 million adults living in the U.S. provide care to someone over 50 years old. Unfortunately, these caregivers experience stress, exhaustion, and even depression. Our respite care services help family caregivers address urgent obligations, spend time with their children, and enjoy nearby activities. Perhaps more importantly, respite care gives family members time to recharge and regroup. Taking personal time to de-stress reduces the risk of caregiver burnout. So, if you've always wanted to eat at the local Panda Chinese Food or visit Heaviest Corner On Earth, don't feel bad. Doing so is great for both you and your loved one.

At the end of the day, our goal is to become a valuable part of your senior's daily routine. That way, we may help give them the highest quality of life possible. We know that staying at home is important for your loved one, and we are here to help make sure that is possible.

If you have been on the fence about non-medical home care, there has never been a better time than now to give your senior the care, assistance, and companionship they deserve.

Aging in Place: The Preferred Choice for Most Seniors

While it's true that some seniors have complicated medical needs that prevent them from staying at home, aging in place is often the best arrangement for seniors and their families. With a trusted caregiver, seniors have the opportunity to live with a sense of dignity and do so as they see fit - something that is unavailable to many older people today.

In-home care makes it possible for millions of seniors to age in place every year. Rather than moving to a strange nursing home, seniors have the chance to stay at home where they feel the happiest and most comfortable.

Here are just a few of the reasons why older men and women prefer to age at home:

How much does a senior's home truly mean to them?

A study published by the American Society on Aging found that more than half of seniors say their home's emotional value means more than how much their home is worth in monetary value. It stands to reason, then, that a senior's home is where they want to grow old.

With the help of elderly care in Pinson, AL, seniors don't have to age in a sterilized care facility. Instead, they can age gracefully in the place they want to be most: their home. In contrast, seniors who move to a long-term care facility must adapt to new environments, new people, and new systems that the facility implements. At this stage in life, this kind of drastic change can be more harmful than helpful.

Institutional care facilities like nursing homes often put large groups of people together to live in one location. On any given day, dozens of staff members and caregivers run in and out of these facilities. Being around so many new people in a relatively small living environment can be dangerous for a seniors' health and wellbeing. When you consider that thousands of seniors passed away in nursing homes during the COVID-19 pandemic, opting for in-home care is often a safer, healthier choice for seniors.

Aging in place has been shown to improve seniors' quality of life, which helps boost physical health and also helps insulate them from viral and bacterial risks found in elderly living facilities.

For many seniors, the ability to live independently with assistance from a caregiver is a priceless option. With in-home care, seniors experience a higher level of independence and freedom - much more so than in other settings like a nursing home. When a senior has the chance to age in place, they get to live life on their own terms, inside the house that they helped make into a home. More independence means more control over their personal lives, too, which leads to increased levels of fulfillment, happiness, and personal gratification. Over time, these positive feelings can manifest into a healthier, longer life.

More independence, a healthier life, and increased comfort are only a few benefits of aging in place. You have to take into consideration the role of cost and convenience. Simply put, it's usually easier and more affordable to help seniors age in place than it is to move them into an institutional care facility. According to the US Department of Housing and Urban Development, seniors who age in the comfort of their homes can save thousands of dollars per month.

In-home care services from Always Best Care, for instance, are often less expensive than long-term solutions, which can cost upwards of six figures per year. To make matters worse, many residential care facilities are reluctant to accept long-term care insurance and other types of payment assistance.

With Always Best Care's home care services, seniors and their families have a greater level of control over their care plans. In-home care gives seniors the chance to form a bond with a trusted caregiver and also receive unmatched care that is catered to their needs. In long-term care facilities, seniors and their loved ones have much less control over their care plan and have less of a say in who provides their care.

 Elderly Care Pinson, AL

Affordable Care

In-home care is a valuable resource that empowers seniors to age in place on their own terms. However, a big concern for many families and their loved ones is how much in-home care costs. If you're worried that in-home care is too expensive, you may be pleasantly surprised to learn that it is one of the most affordable senior care arrangements available.

Typically, hiring an Always Best Care in-home caregiver for a few hours a week is more affordable than sending your loved one to a long-term care facility. This is true even for seniors with more complex care needs.

At Always Best Care, we will work closely with you and your family to develop a Care Plan that not only meets your care needs, but your budget requirements, too. Once we discover the level of care that you or your senior need, we develop an in-home care plan that you can afford.

In addition to our flexible care options, families should also consider the following resources to help offset potential home care costs:

If your loved one qualifies, Medicaid may help reduce in-home care costs. Review your AL's Medicaid program laws and benefits, and make sure your senior's financial and medical needs meet Medicaid eligibility requirements.
Attendance and aid benefits through military service can cover a portion of the costs associated with in-home care for veterans and their spouses.
Many senior care services like in-home care are included in long-term care insurance options. Research different long-term care solutions to find a plan that provides coverage for senior care.
Home care can be included as part of a senior's private insurance plan. Read over your loved one's insurance policy carefully or speak with their insurance provider to determine if in-home care is covered.
Depending on the life insurance plan, you may be able to apply your policy toward long-term care. You may be able to use long-term-care coverage to help pay for in-home elderly care.
 Senior Care Pinson, AL

Compassionate Care. Trusted Caregivers.

When you or your senior loved one needs assistance managing daily tasks at home, finding a qualified caregiver can be challenging. It takes a special kind of person to provide reliable care for your senior loved one. However, a caregiver's role involves more than meal preparation and medication reminders. Many seniors rely on their caregivers for companionship, too.

Our companion care services give seniors the chance to socialize in a safe environment and engage in activities at home. These important efforts boost morale and provide much-needed relief from repetitive daily routines. A one-on-one, engaging conversation can sharpen seniors' minds and give them something in which to be excited.

At Always Best Care, we only hire care providers that we would trust to care for our own loved ones. Our senior caregivers in Pinson, AL understand how important it is to listen and communicate with their seniors. A seemingly small interaction, like a short hug goodbye, can make a major difference in a senior's day. Instead of battling against feelings of isolation, seniors begin to look forward to seeing their caregiver each week.

Understanding the nuances of senior care is just one of the reasons why our care providers are so great at their job.

Unlike some senior care companies, our caregivers must undergo extensive training before they work for Always Best Care. In addition, our caregivers receive ongoing training throughout the year. This training ensures that their standard of care matches up to the high standards we've come to expect. During this training, they will brush up on their communication skills, safety awareness, and symptom spotting. That way, your loved one receives the highest level of non-medical home care from day one.

Assisted Living Referral Services

While it's true that many seniors prefer to age at home, sometimes in-home care isn't the best fit. For those seniors and their families, choosing an assisted living facility makes more sense. Unfortunately, finding the optimal care facility is easier said than done in today's day and age. That's when Always Best Care's assisted living referral services begin to make a lot of sense.

Assisted living is a form of housing intended for seniors who require varying degrees of medical and personal attention. Accommodations may include single rooms, apartments, or shared living arrangements. Assisted living communities are typically designed to resemble a home-like environment and are physically constructed to encourage the independence of residents.


Respite Care Pinson, AL

At assisted living communities, seniors receive help with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, and eating. They may also benefit from coordination of services with outside healthcare providers, and monitoring of resident activities to ensure their health, safety, and well-being. Caregivers who work at assisted living communities can also provide medication administration and personal care services for older adults.

Other services offered within assisted living communities can include some or all of the following:

  • Housekeeping
  • Laundry
  • Recreational Activities
  • Social Outings
  • Emergency Medical Response
  • Medication Monitoring
  • Family Visitation
  • Personal Care
 Caregivers Pinson, AL

At Always Best Care, our representatives can match your senior's emotional, physical, and financial needs with viable assisted living communities nearby. Results are based on comparative data, so you can select the best choice for you or your loved one.

Always Best Care works closely with local senior living communities to gain valuable knowledge that we then use to help seniors and their loved ones make informed decisions. This information can include basic care and rent, resident availability, and services provided. Because Always Best Care is compensated by these communities, we provide senior living referral services at no extra cost to you.

Some of the most popular assisted living communities to consider in our area include the following:

  • CareSource Senior Care
  • Proveer at Grayson Valley
  • Clay Senior Activity Center
  • Audrey's Dependable Private Care & Transportation LLC.
  • HUGHES HOME AND CAREGIVING
  • Legacy Ridge Trussville
Home Care Pinson, AL

For many seniors, moving into a senior living community revolves around how and when they want to make a transition to more involved care. Some seniors are more proactive about transitioning to independent living. Others choose to remain home until their care needs or other requirements are satisfied. Remember - our staff is here to help. Contact our office today to learn more about assisted living communities and how we can find a facility that exceeds your expectations.

PINSON – In 2020, while communities and individuals adjusted to a worldwide shutdown and isolation became the new normal, a cultural shift began taking place with a focus on self-care. And while many existing businesses struggled with the changes brought on by a pandemic, those very changes also inspired new businesses to bud.

One of those new businesses, locally, was Love Life Naturals, a line of handmade, plant-based skin care and wellness products made by Pinson resident Krystle Williams.

“Really, Love Life Naturals was created out of a need for myself,” said Williams, owner and CEO of Love Life Naturals. “I just needed better skin care and I was becoming more intentional about just loving myself in different ways and paying attention to the products that I was using on my skin.”

online store

“Our turmeric and bentonite clay soap is one of our biggest sellers,” Williams said. “We are working to keep up with high demand.”

When people see the Love Life Naturals logo, Williams said that she wants them to see more than just another company or product.

“I want them to know that my mission is to make high-quality, plant-based, self-care products to help people meet their self-care needs,” she said. “It’s not just about buying a product, because I feel like you can get a product anywhere. For me, it’s the intention that goes into it. All the products are clean, they’re handmade, and I want to raise awareness that plant-based options really work. We’re in this culture of loving ourselves more and doing more self-care, so when we think about how we care about ourselves and our bodies, we start paying attention to the things that we’re putting on our bodies and in our bodies. So, really, my goal is to encourage people to be intentional about the way that we care for ourselves, in general.”

In addition to sustainable ingredients, Love Life Naturals products come in glass packaging, which can either be recycled or repurposed by the customer or returned to the company for a discount.

“We try to do as many sustainable options as possible,” Williams said. “I give the community a chance to recycle with me, so they can bring back their glass containers and get a 5% discount on their next purchase.”

In September 2022, Williams felt it was time to take the leap from pop-up shops and markets to a brick-and-mortar store.

“After having reached a high level of successful online sales, we decided that it was time to open our flagship store, The Love Life Naturals Self Care Boutique,” she said. “Pinson had the ideal spot, so we jumped on the opportunity to open a retail location.”

The store is located at 4298 Main Street Pinson, adjacent to Price’s Ice Cream, and is open Monday-Friday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and on Saturdays from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m.

Beginning April 15, Williams said she will be hosting a series of self-care expos at the Love Life Naturals Self Care Boutique.

“The self-care expos are really about engaging with the community,” she said. “Inviting the community to come out to our boutique to learn more about our products and what we do, and the clean ingredients that we use in the products. I’m going to have a series of those self-care expos throughout the spring and summer.”

Love Life Naturals will be partnering with other local wellness practitioners and business owners for these expos. One of the vendors, Root’d Spa, will be offering ionic foot baths at the April 15 event, which will take place from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m.

Oxford’s defense was near-flawless while the offense flourished in it’s 40-6 victory over host Pinson Valley.

The Yellow Jackets kept the Indians out of the end zone except for an interception return late in the first half at Willie Adams Stadium.

Class 6A ninth-ranked Oxford (5-0, 3-0) scored on a touchdown run, a field goal and a safety in the first quarter and its defense shut down Pinson Valley (1-3, 0-2) to the tune of 228 total yards and a 3-for-14 performance on third-down conversions.

Oxford quarterback Mason Mims threw two touchdowns, but also gave up a pick-6 with 1:47 remaining in the opening half. Running backs Jaydon Thomas and D.K. Wilson combined for 207 rushing yards and three scores, also hauling in a combined six receptions for 72 yards, and Thomas scored a third time through the air while Wilson blocked a punt for a safety midway through the first quarter.

Wilson broke loose for a 79-yard scoring run on the second play of the second half and Mims connected with Nick Richardson for a 6-yard touchdown pass on Oxford’s second possession of the third quarter. Thomas scored both of his rushing touchdowns on back-to-back drives and capped the scoring with a 44-yard on the initial play of the final frame.

Star of the game: Thomas. The senior running back finished with 12 rushing attempts for 105 yards and two touchdowns and added three receptions for 35 yards and another score.

“Going in (to halftime), we had a couple of misreads by the group but that was correctable. When we play our best game, there’s nobody that can stop me and D.K.,” he said.

By the numbers: 4, the number of consecutive victories for Oxford in the series, which leads 8-5 overall. ...0, the number of third-down conversions for Oxford in the first half.

Stat sheet: Oxford – Mims was 14-for-24 passing for 127 yards, two touchdowns and an interception, and Richardson added four receptions for 38 yards and a touchdown. Wilson had eight carries for 102 yards and a touchdown, along with three catches for 37 yards, and blocked a first-quarter punt that resulted in a safety. Pinson Valley – Dylan Reese finished 12-of-24 for 147 yards and Joshua Woods had 20 rushing attempts for 92 yards. Derrico Freeman contributed three receptions for 43 yards.

Coachspeak: “We thought the first half, we were sputtering around on offense and the message at halftime was ‘it was us.’ We felt like it was a lot of self-inflicted mistakes and we didn’t go nuts on them at halftime. Just needed to fix what we needed to fix and played a whole lot better in the third quarter.” -- Oxford coach Sam Adams

They said it: “We have to keep each other up. If we do our assignment and trust in the coaching, we’ll follow it until the end.” -- Thomas on keeping the team humble

“It just happened to work out the way it did in practice. I’ve come close a few times but finally got one tonight.” -- Wilson on blocked punt

What’s next? Oxford travels to Hartselle, while Pinson Valley hosts Homewood.

Local veteran discusses ‘veterans park’ proposal with Pinson City Council

PINSON – Lifelong Pinson resident, business owner and veteran Scott Ragsdale addressed the Pinson City Council on Tuesday, Oct. 18, concerning his plans for a newly constructed veterans park near the entrance to Bicentennial Park.

“We’re one of the very few cities that doesn’t have a park or an area designated for our veterans,” Ragsdale said. “We just don’t. Never have, that I’ve seen. What I’m proposing is for the area that is right before you get to the Bicentennial Park, where the old, white fruit stand used to be, right across the street from the Shell gas station, for that area to be designated … for a veterans honors park or a veterans recognition park. The reason why I didn’t put memorial park in there is because I don’t feel if a service member has passed, that he or she should be recognized. I think they should have it done, like myself, while we’re still here.”

Ragsdale, who served 16 years in the Navy, said that all the material and labor for the veterans park would be provided by himself and through donations he has already received. He said he has already received donations for pavement, concrete pillars, a rock formation, flagpoles and flags, and lights.

“It just recognizes the veterans who have lived in Pinson or still live in Pinson,” he said. “ … I know we have a lot of veterans and I would just like to give them some form of recognition, past, present and future.”

Mayor Joe Cochran said that Ragsdale’s design is similar to something the city had already been discussing, and he’s excited to seeing community members getting involved with the project.

“I think what I would like to see – when you talk to your architect to design the final – what I would like to see is a little wall … and you have an area in front of it where people can walk and read a plaque for each branch of the service and that kind of thing,” Cochran said.

Ragsdale asked the council to consider allocating the property for that purpose, allowing him and his architect to move forward with their next steps. The council agreed.

“It’s about time we do it,” Councilor Glenda Kirkland said. “So, let’s do it.”

The council reminded the public that Pinson’s Veterans Day luncheon will take place on Nov. 11, 2022, at 11:30 a.m., at the Rock School Complex. The luncheon will be catered by Olive Garden and each veteran is allowed to bring one guest. To register for the event, call Pinson City Hall at (205) 680-5556.

Pinson’s “Ugly Christmas Sweater” Christmas parade will take place on Thursday, Dec. 1, at 6:30 p.m. Applications are available on the city’s website at www.thecityofpinson.com and are due by Nov. 25.

Pinson Trade Days will be celebrating its one-year anniversary on Saturday, Nov. 5, from 9 a.m. until 2 p.m. There will be vendors, food trucks, a classic car show and more.

Also on Nov. 5, from 9 a.m. until 12 p.m., the city will be hosting its Shred-A-Thon event at City Hall.

In other business, the council approved the following:

The next meeting of the Pinson City Council will be Thursday, Nov. 3, 2022, at 7 p.m., at Pinson City Hall. A pre-council work session will be held at 6:15 p.m.

PINSON, Ala. —

A sweet surprise took place at a Pinson Elementary School about two weeks ago. There was work to be done in the fifth-grade classroom of Simon Jenkins and Peyton Wynn, but it wasn't school work. Jenkins was preparing to propose to Wynn in the place where they first met 10 years earlier.

WVTM 13's Rick Karle has more from the now-engaged couple below.

Ten years ago when he was an 11-year-old, Simon Jenkins knew that young, beautiful Peyton Wynn would someday be his wife.

They met at Johnson Elementary School in Pinson, Alabama. They giggled at one another as they sat in Patti Hathorn’s class.

“It started to hit me in eighth grade," Jenkins said. “I was starting to think that Peyton could be the one. I knew that we had so much growing to do, but we were always together. We graduated from Pinson Valley High School in 2019.”

Twelve days ago, and both Jenkins and Wynn had turned 21 days before. Enter Jenkins' mother, an event planner with a flair for the arts. But where would the proposal take place?

Who would have thought that a fifth-grade classroom could look so romantic? Jenkins' mom went to work, turning Jenkins' and Wynn's old classroom into something special with signs, flowers, candles and a special path where he could lead her.

“We were going out to eat to celebrate our tenth anniversary and my mom called," Jenkins said. “She told me that she forgot something at her PTA meeting at Johnson Elementary School. I apologized to Peyton and told her we needed to stop by the school. You should have seen Peyton’s face when she walked into that classroom."

Their fifth-grade teacher was even there to help the couple celebrate the very special moment.

The couple's love story is far from over — a wedding date has yet to be set.

Wynn just graduated from dental hygiene school and Jenkins will soon enter the Air Force.

“When I first set eyes on Peyton in elementary school, I felt my heart beat a little faster. There was just something special about Peyton," Jenkins said.

Neanderthal brain development

Neanderthal brains were similar in size to those of modern humans but differed in shape. What we cannot tell from fossils is how Neanderthal brains might have differed in function or organization of brain layers such as the neocortex. Pinson et al. have now analyzed the effect of a single amino acid change in the transketolase-like 1 (TKTL1) protein on production of basal radial glia, the workhorses that generate much of the neocortex (see the Perspective by Malgrange and Nguyen). Modern humans differ from apes and Neanderthals by this single amino acid change. When placed in organoids or overexpressed in nonhuman brains, the human variant of TKTL1 drove more generation of neuroprogenitors than did the archaic variant. The authors suggest that the modern human has more neocortex to work with than the ancient Neanderthal did. —PJH

Structured Abstract

The evolutionary expansion of the neocortex and the concomitant increase in neuron production are considered to be a basis for the increase in cognitive abilities that occurred during human evolution. Endocast analyses reveal that the endocranial volume of modern humans and Neanderthals was similar, suggesting similar brain and neocortex size. But whether similar neocortex size implies similar neocortical neuron production remains unclear.

Transketolase-like 1 (TKTL1) is a gene from the transketolase family that in fetal human neocortex is preferentially expressed in the two classes of neuroprogenitors, the apical progenitors in the ventricular zone and the basal progenitors in the subventricular zone. The latter class of neuroprogenitors comprises two major types, the basal intermediate progenitors (bIPs) and the basal radial glia (bRG, also called outer radial glia). bRG exhibit cellular processes that promote their ability to self-amplify, and are the neuroprogenitor type considered to be a driver of the increase in cortical neuron production, which is a hallmark of the evolution of the human neocortex. Reflecting their cell polarity, bRG undergo repeated asymmetric divisions that self-renew the bRG and generate one neuron each. Thereby, bRG generate more neurons over time than the other type of neuron-generating basal neuroprogenitors, the process-lacking bIPs whose neurogenic divisions are symmetric self-consuming. TKTL1 is one of the few proteins with a single amino acid substitution found in essentially all present-day humans but absent from extinct archaic humans, the Neanderthals and Denisovans, and other primates. This human-specific amino acid substitution in TKTL1 is a lysine in apes and archaic humans but an arginine in modern humans. We therefore investigated (i) whether TKTL1 has a role in neocortex development and affects neuroprogenitor numbers and (ii) whether both archaic TKTL1 (aTKTL1) and modern human TKTL1 (hTKTL1) exert similar effects on neuroprogenitors during neocortex development.

When expressed in mouse embryo neocortex, which lacks TKTL1 expression, hTKTL1 increased the abundance of bRG without affecting that of bIPs and that of apical progenitors. The effect of TKTL1 on bRG abundance was limited to hTKTL1; aTKTL1, which differs only by one amino acid, was unable to increase bRG abundance. The greater bRG abundance upon hTKTL1 expression resulted in an increase in cortical neuron production over time, specifically of the late-born upper-layer neurons rather than of the early-born deep-layer neurons. In the folded (gyrencephalic) developing ferret neocortex, hTKTL1 expression increased not only bRG abundance but also the proportion of bRG with multiple processes, a hallmark of bRG that can self-amplify. As a consequence of this effect, gyrus size increased.

In fetal human neocortex, hTKTL1 was essential to maintain the full number of bRG, as CRISPR-Cas9–mediated hTKTL1 knockout in fetal human neocortical tissue reduced this number. To further demonstrate the relevance of this effect, we converted hTKTL1 to the Neanderthal variant aTKTL1 in human embryonic stem cells and generated minibrain structures called cerebral organoids. The aTKTL1-expressing organoids contained fewer bRG and neurons, hence the human-specific lysine-to-arginine substitution in hTKTL1 is essential for maintaining the full number of bRG and neurons in this human brain model. In fetal human neocortex, hTKTL1 expression in neuroprogenitors increased during the course of neurogenesis and was particularly high in the developing frontal lobe as compared to the developing occipital lobe.

As to its mechanism of action, hTKTL1 increased bRG abundance via two metabolic pathways, the pentose phosphate pathway (PPP) followed by fatty acid synthesis. Inhibition of the PPP or of fatty acid synthesis, using a variety of specific inhibitors, completely suppressed the hTKTL1-induced increase in bRG abundance in embryonic mouse neocortex and reduced bRG numbers in fetal human neocortical tissue. This metabolic action of hTKTL1, but not aTKTL1, in bRG resulted in an increase in the concentration of acetyl–coenzyme A, the critical metabolite for fatty acid synthesis. Our data suggest that hTKTL1, but not aTKTL1, promotes the synthesis of membrane lipids containing a certain type of fatty acid that are required for the outgrowth of bRG processes and hence for the increase in bRG abundance.

In light of our finding that TKTL1 expression in fetal human neocortex is particularly high in the developing frontal lobe, our study implies that because of the single amino acid–based activity of hTKTL1, neocortical neurogenesis in modern humans was and is greater than it was in Neanderthals, in particular in the frontal lobe.

Abstract

Neanderthal brains were similar in size to those of modern humans. We sought to investigate potential differences in neurogenesis during neocortex development. Modern human transketolase-like 1 (TKTL1) differs from Neanderthal TKTL1 by a lysine-to-arginine amino acid substitution. Using overexpression in developing mouse and ferret neocortex, knockout in fetal human neocortical tissue, and genome-edited cerebral organoids, we found that the modern human variant, hTKTL1, but not the Neanderthal variant, increases the abundance of basal radial glia (bRG) but not that of intermediate progenitors (bIPs). bRG generate more neocortical neurons than bIPs. The hTKTL1 effect requires the pentose phosphate pathway and fatty acid synthesis. Inhibition of these metabolic pathways reduces bRG abundance in fetal human neocortical tissue. Our data suggest that neocortical neurogenesis in modern humans differs from that in Neanderthals.
