Temporal Profiling of Upper-Layer Neurons Reveals Changes in the Molecular Landscape Upon Maternal Immune Activation

Tabitha Rücker, Birgit Schwanke, Kerstin Reumann, Patrick Blümke, Jacqueline Nakel, Daniela Indenbirken, Thomas Günther, Thomas Mair, Bente Siebels, Paula Nissen, Kilian Müller, Melanie Richter, Sabine Hoffmeister‐Ullerich, Stephanie Stanelle‐Bertram, Gülşah Gabriel, , Froylán Calderón de Anda

This study maps the molecular changes in murine upper-layer cortical neurons during development and shows how maternal immune activation disrupts this process through post-transcriptional and signaling mechanisms.
