Single-cell genomics of the mouse olfactory cortex reveals contrasts with neocortex and ancestral signatures of cell type evolution

Here, using single-cell genomics, we test the premise that, despite millions of years of coevolution alongside the neocortex, olfactory cortex neurons retained molecular signatures of ancestral cell ...

Charting the spatial transcriptome of the human cerebral cortex at single-cell resolution

Diverse high cognitive functions were supported by cellular circuits formed by billion neural cells in different cerebral cortex regions 1,2,3. High-resolution “cytoarchitectural atlas” of the human ...

Newborn neurons routinely break then repair DNA during brain cortex formation, study reveals

Newborn nerve cells must squeeze through crowded, narrow spaces—through dense tissue, past other cells, and between fibers—to ...

Specialists at work – Nerve cells adapt their structure and function to their task

An international research team led jointly by the University Medical Center Göttingen (UMG), the University of Göttingen, and the University of Western Ontario in London, Canada, has shown that nerve ...
