This study investigates the evolutionary origins of Cajal-Retzius cells across vertebrates, finding they are conserved but gained specific transcriptomic features in amniotes.

The paper shows that cortical layering in tetrapods follows conserved developmental principles, with mammals displaying an inverted layer order.

This paper identifies AAV serotypes effective for transducing amphibian CNS cells and develops tools for neural circuit tracing and manipulation in multiple amphibian species.

The paper profiles cell diversity in the paralarval octopus brain to create a cell type atlas and identifies molecular similarities between octopus and fly glial cells.

This study identifies cell type innovations in salamander forebrain evolution, showing similarities to both sauropsid DVR and mammalian neocortex.

The paper identifies ten distinct glutamatergic neuron types in the salamander amygdala using single-cell RNA sequencing and in situ hybridization.

The paper identifies neural progenitor cells in octopus embryos and shows that newborn neurons migrate long distances to form the brain.

This paper introduces a controlled incubation system and staging atlas for studying the embryonic development of Octopus vulgaris in a laboratory setting.
