Comparative molecular landscapes of immature neurons in the mammalian dentate gyrus across species reveal special features in humans

The paper compares gene expression in immature neurons across species to identify human-specific features and shared biological processes.

Brain-wide neuronal circuit connectome of human glioblastoma

This study shows human glioblastoma cells integrate into brain-wide neuronal circuits, exhibit diverse connectivity, and respond to neuromodulatory inputs like acetylcholine, which promotes invasion and survival.

Comprehensive multiomic profiling of somatic mutations in malformations of cortical development

This study identifies 69 mutated genes in malformations of cortical development using multiomic profiling of 317 brain resections and single-cell sequencing.

Neuronal responses in posterior parietal cortex during learning of implied serial order

This study shows that posterior parietal cortex neurons in monkeys represent ordinal ranks of stimuli during serial learning, supporting a virtual workspace model over associative learning.
