Spontaneous network activity links misrouted interneuron migration to cortical maturation abnormalities

This study shows that disrupted migration of inhibitory neurons leads to persistent functional deficits in cortical networks, linking migratory guidance to circuit integrity.

Developmental emergence of first- and higher-order thalamic neuron molecular identities

The paper shows that first-order thalamic neurons develop from higher-order neurons with peripheral input driving excitatory neuron maturation.

Regional Differences in Progenitor Consumption Dynamics Shape Brain Growth during Development

The paper identifies regional differences in progenitor dynamics during brain development, showing sustained neurogenesis in the forebrain and transient neurogenesis in the hindbrain, driven by differences in cell cycle length and progenitor consumption.

Developmental molecular controls over arealization of descending cortical motor pathways

The paper identifies developmental molecular programs that control the emergence and area-specific distribution of two subtypes of cortical motor projection neurons.

A translaminar genetic logic for the circuit identity of intracortically-projecting neurons

This study identifies that the transcriptional identities of intracortically-projecting neurons primarily reflect their input-output connectivities rather than their birth dates or laminar positions.
