The paper integrates genomic data with single-cell transcriptomics to identify brain cell types and regions associated with psychiatric disorders and traits.

This study investigates the role of Sox6 in maintaining somatostatin interneuron subtype identity during migration, finding that its removal reduces subtype diversity in the mature cortex.

This study shows that loss of ErbB4 in PV interneurons during embryonic development disrupts cortical circuit dynamics and neuronal connectivity.

This study improves human embryonic stem cell differentiation into midbrain dopaminergic neurons using specific factors and reveals developmental dynamics and high-quality cell types through single-cell RNA-sequencing.

The paper identifies three distinct subtypes of somatostatin-expressing neurons in the mouse ventral tegmental area, revealing their heterogeneity in electrophysiological, morphological, and molecular properties.
