The paper introduces a statistical model to test functional effects in spatial transcriptomics data by analyzing gene expression patterns across space.

This study shows that Msh2 deficiency in mice leads to sensory processing deficits due to TRN dysfunction, including oxidative damage and altered interneuron activity.

The paper shows that in male mice, the right auditory cortex matures earlier than the left, with experience-dependent reorganization confined to the actively maturing hemisphere.

The paper identifies stronger recurrent connections in the right auditory cortex of mice, leading to longer temporal integration windows, supporting lateralized speech processing theories.
