The paper maps gene expression and axonal projections of neurons in the mouse primary visual cortex to reveal how retinotopy and cell-type-specific collateralization organize visual-stream output.

The paper presents a barcoded multiplex strategy to screen enhancer AAVs using single-cell RNA sequencing and taxonomy mapping, but finds significant technical and biological noise complicates accurate expression pattern analysis.

This study shows that cell type-specific AADC expression in Parkinson's disease models reduces motor deficits and dyskinesia more effectively than broad targeting.

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 analyzes multi-modal Patch-seq data from macaque striatum to reveal morphoelectric diversity and functional specialization of neuronal cell types, highlighting primate-specific features and differences from rodents.

The paper develops a toolkit of transgenic mouse lines and enhancer AAVs for selective targeting of cortical cell populations using transcriptomic and epigenomic data.
