The paper investigates how astrocyte regional specialization develops in mouse and marmoset brains using single-nucleus RNA sequencing and expansion microscopy, finding significant regional and developmental changes in gene expression and morphology.

The paper analyzes single-nucleus RNA sequencing data from marmoset brain cells to show that neuronal identity is more influenced by developmental origin than functional class.

The paper profiles interneurons in primates and rodents to identify evolutionary innovations in brain cell types and their molecular features.
