The paper identifies mammalian-specific gene regulatory elements and their role in neocortical neuron subtype diversity and connectivity, linking them to neurodevelopmental disorders.

This study investigates the role of PRC2 in mouse cortical development, finding that homozygous mutations lead to structural and neuronal dysregulation, while heterozygous mutations show distinct effects.

The paper investigates early cortical activity patterns in marsupial dunnarts and finds they emerge region-specifically and sequentially before cortical neurogenesis completes.

The paper shows that SOX6 activates LINE-1 retrotransposons in PV+ interneurons, leading to increased morphological complexity through a novel CAPS2 isoform.

This study shows that DCC and NTN1 regulate astroglial development and interhemispheric fissure remodeling, essential for corpus callosum and hippocampal commissure formation.
