The paper studies calcium signaling in human-specific interlaminar astrocytes in a chimeric mouse model of Fragile X Syndrome, finding hyperexcitable signaling and increased dendritic spine turnover.

This study uses human pluripotent stem cell-derived cerebral organoids to show that oligodendrogenesis in the human brain has both ventral and dorsal origins, with dorsal cells dominating in fused organoids.
