Competing Programs Shape Cortical Sensorimotor-Association Axis Development

The paper presents the MIND model, showing that competing induction and exclusion programs shape the sensorimotor-to-association axis in the neocortex across species.

MECP2-mutant marmosets exhibit primate-specific phenotypes of Rett syndrome

This study generates MECP2-knockout marmosets to model Rett syndrome, revealing cortical structural and gene expression changes linked to the disease.

Spatial proteomics reveals prefrontal circuit diversity in socioemotional behaviour

The paper uses spatial proteomics to identify projection-specific molecular diversity in the prefrontal cortex and identifies BLTP2 as a key presynaptic protein involved in memory and behavior.

Truncated radial glia as a common precursor in the late corticogenesis of gyrencephalic mammals

The paper identifies truncated radial glia (tRG) as a conserved progenitor subtype in ferret and human corticogenesis, showing their role in brain expansion.

Multi-modal brain magnetic resonance imaging database covering marmosets with a wide age range

The paper presents a large-scale MRI database of marmosets across a wide age range to study brain aging and its factors.

Anatomical development of the cerebellothalamic tract in embryonic mice

This paper investigates the anatomical development of the cerebello-thalamic tract in embryonic mice, showing that axons invade the thalamus after E16.5 and establish synapses by E18.5.

Dual midbrain and forebrain origins of thalamic inhibitory interneurons

The paper identifies two developmental origins of thalamic inhibitory interneurons in mice and shows their distribution in the marmoset thalamus.

Gene regulatory networks controlling differentiation, survival, and diversification of hypothalamic Lhx6-expressing GABAergic neurons.

This study identifies molecular mechanisms controlling the development of hypothalamic GABAergic neurons expressing Lhx6, showing their distinct regulatory networks compared to cortical interneurons.

Role of an atypical cadherin gene, Cdh23 in prepulse inhibition and its implication in schizophrenia

The paper identifies a Cdh23 variant associated with prepulse inhibition and schizophrenia risk in mice and humans.

The polymicrogyria-associated GPR56 promoter preferentially drives gene expression in developing GABAergic neurons in common marmosets

The study shows that the GPR56 promoter e1m preferentially drives gene expression in developing GABAergic neurons in marmosets, suggesting a role in GPR56-related cerebral cortex disorders.
