The paper maps cis-regulatory elements in the macaque cortex using snATAC-seq and links them to disease-related genes and risk SNPs.

This study creates a single-cell spatial transcriptomic atlas of the human cortex, revealing gene expression patterns, aging effects, and disease associations across layers and species.

The paper compares gene expression in immature neurons across species to identify human-specific features and shared biological processes.

The paper develops Macaca-Star, a pipeline for automated macaque brain registration across modalities, addressing deformation and variability challenges in ex vivo samples.

This paper introduces IBIST, an intein-split transactivator that enables intersectional control of gene expression in specific cell types, validated for use with multiple effectors in vivo.

The paper investigates feedback projections in primate early visual cortex, revealing retinotopic organization and differences in connection strength between ventral and dorsal stream areas.

The paper identifies syllable-selective neuronal ensembles in marmoset primary auditory cortex that respond to specific vocalizations, showing sensitivity to global sound properties and sequence structure.

The paper shows that marmoset primary auditory cortex neurons have uniform frequency tuning within local regions, indicating a tonotopic organization at both macro and microscopic levels.
