The paper investigates how PTEN heterozygous mutations affect different cell types in human cortical organoids and shows that these effects lead to abnormal circuit activity regardless of genetic background.

The paper presents a single-cell multiomics atlas of human cortical organoid development, revealing molecular programs of cellular diversification and identifying human-specific gene roles in lineage establishment.

This study uses human brain organoids to show that ASD risk genes cause accelerated development of specific cortical neuron classes.
