Developmental transcriptomic analysis of cultured primary mouse cortical neurons reveals sex-specific expression of neuropeptides

The paper performs transcriptomic analysis of cultured primary mouse cortical neurons to identify sex-specific gene expression patterns and neuropeptide regulation during development.

Exposure to a low dose mixture of endocrine disrupting chemicals alters the brain transcriptome and animal behavior

This study shows that low-dose mixtures of endocrine disrupting chemicals alter brain transcriptomes and behavior in mice, with sex-specific effects and changes in cell-cell signaling.

Histone variant H2BE controls activity-dependent gene expression and homeostatic scaling

This study shows that H2BE is required for activity-dependent gene expression and homeostatic scaling in neurons.

Autism spectrum disorder risk genes have convergent effects on transcription and neuronal firing patterns in primary neurons

The paper tests nine ASD-linked transcription regulators in neurons, finding shared gene expression disruptions and firing pattern changes.

Loss of DOT1L disrupts neuronal transcription, behavior, and leads to a neurodevelopmental disorder

This study shows that partial loss of DOT1L causes transcriptional, morphological, and behavioral defects in neurons across multiple models.
