This study shows that astrocytes can be converted into functional neurons in the mouse visual cortex, which can integrate into cortical circuits and respond to visual stimuli.

This study identifies Yap1 as a regulator of adult neural stem cell activation, showing that its gain-of-function mutant promotes cell cycle entry and aberrant differentiation while wild-type Yap1 does not.

This study identifies transcriptional and chromatin changes during astrocyte maturation in vivo and in culture, showing that extrinsic signals regulate intrinsic transcription factors to drive maturation.
