Transcriptomic changes across subregions of the primate cerebellum support the evolution of uniquely human behaviors

The paper analyzes bulk RNA-seq data from six primate cerebellar subregions to identify gene expression differences across species, highlighting divergence in synaptic activity and glucose metabolism in lateral hemispheres.

Human-specific features and developmental dynamics of the brain N-glycome

The paper characterizes the evolution of the brain N-glycome across primates, finding increased complexity and human-specific sialic acid linkage changes.
