This study shows that prenatal lead exposure biases neural cell fate in human brain development by increasing neurons and reducing astrocytes through epigenetic changes.

The paper identifies Myocilin as a marker for glia limitans superficialis astrocytes in mouse and human, showing their specialized morphology and evolutionary conservation.

This study performs genome sequencing in Parkinson's disease patients and finds genetic variants in 3.4% for LRRK2 and 10.1% for GBA, with 82% of patients willing to share variants with relatives.

This study identifies genetic associations with Parkinson disease motor subtypes using GWAS, finding novel variants and suggesting overlap with essential tremor genetics.
