Morphoelectric Diversity and Specialization of Neuronal Cell Types in the Primate Striatum

The paper analyzes multi-modal Patch-seq data from macaque striatum to reveal morphoelectric diversity and functional specialization of neuronal cell types, highlighting primate-specific features and differences from rodents.

HCN channels reveal conserved and divergent physiology in supragranular pyramidal neurons in primate species

The paper examines HCN-channel properties in primate supragranular pyramidal neurons, finding conserved traits across species with some divergence in magnitude between humans and macaques.

Convergent Control of NREM Sleep and Anesthesia by Prefrontal Layer 5 Extratelencephalic Neurons

This study identifies prefrontal cortical neurons that regulate both NREM sleep and anesthesia by modulating their activity and connectivity.

Expansion-assisted selective plane illumination microscopy for nanoscale imaging of centimeter-scale tissues

The paper introduces ExA-SPIM, a microscope that enables high-resolution imaging of large tissue samples without sectioning, demonstrating its use on mouse brains and human white matter.

Evolution of cellular diversity in primary motor cortex of human, marmoset monkey, and mouse

The paper compares cellular diversity in the primary motor cortex across human, marmoset, and mouse using single-nucleus transcriptomics and epigenomics, finding conserved cell types and species-specific adaptations.
