This study uses spatial transcriptomics and snRNA-seq to identify 25 forebrain regions and characterize dynamic changes in the human fetal cortex and striatum during late first and early second trimesters.

This study reconstructs the evolutionary assembly of a conserved cortical axis across vertebrates using spatial transcriptomics and single-nucleus RNA-seq, revealing conserved molecular programs and convergent evolution in brain circuitry.

This study presents a single-cell and spatial transcriptomic atlas of the budgerigar brain, revealing structural and developmental insights into avian neurogenesis and brain evolution.

The paper creates a single-cell atlas of amniote brains to study cell type diversification and identifies species-specific gene expression patterns and novel cell subtypes.

The paper integrates single-cell ATAC and transcriptomic data with spatial transcriptomics to map regulatory features and disease vulnerabilities in macaque cortex.
