The paper presents the MIND model, showing that competing induction and exclusion programs shape the sensorimotor-to-association axis in the neocortex across species.

This study generates MECP2-knockout marmosets to model Rett syndrome, revealing cortical structural and gene expression changes linked to the disease.

The paper uses spatial proteomics to identify projection-specific molecular diversity in the prefrontal cortex and identifies BLTP2 as a key presynaptic protein involved in memory and behavior.

This study shows that Polβ suppresses DNA double-strand breaks during active DNA demethylation in postnatal hippocampal development, which is essential for proper neuronal differentiation and behavior.
