The paper defines major axes of human basal ganglia astrocyte specialization using a multimodal atlas and identifies enhancer code for targeted viral tools.

The paper creates a cross-species consensus atlas of primate basal ganglia cell types using multiomic data from human, macaque, and marmoset, identifying 61 conserved cell types and a novel hybrid medium spiny neuron type.

This paper creates a cross-species spatial transcriptomic atlas of the basal ganglia in human, rhesus macaque, and common marmoset, revealing conserved molecular organization and cell type-specific compartments.

The paper improves intracranial viral vector delivery in non-human primates by developing a bench-side model to optimize convection-enhanced delivery (CED) techniques.
