The paper develops a cross-species enhancer-AAV toolkit for targeting specific cell types in the basal ganglia across species, validated in mouse and macaque.

The paper develops AAV-based genetic tools to specifically target astrocytes and oligodendrocytes across species, revealing functional roles in reward-dependent acetylcholine responses.

P-sort is an open-source software that improves spike detection and attribution in cerebellar Purkinje cells by merging and splitting clusters based on statistical relationships between simple and complex spikes.

The paper identifies enhancer elements that drive subclass-specific gene expression in neocortex across mouse, primate, and human species using comparative epigenetics and AAV-based functional assays.
