The paper identifies an RA-autoregulatory loop in the developing PFC that maintains RA signaling and defines cortical areal identities.

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 identifies SOX4, SOX11, and TFAP2D as critical regulators of ventropallial excitatory neuron development and PFC connectivity in mice, with conserved roles in humans.

The paper identifies a transcription factor network and enhancers involved in cortical regional patterning using mouse embryonic data.

This study identifies retinoic acid signaling as critical for prefrontal cortex development and connectivity in primates, showing its role in molecular patterning, synaptogenesis, and evolutionary expansion.

The paper identifies Hominini-specific regulation of CBLN2 that drives increased synaptogenesis in the human prefrontal cortex, linking it to neuropsychiatric disorder risk.
