Fate mapping in mouse shows two separate MGE radial glia pools; the later pool uses temporal cohorts of fate-restricted basal intermediate progenitors to amplify and diversify cortical interneurons.

The paper examines how a novel reactivity phenotype influences cocaine-induced locomotor responses in adolescent and adult rats, showing lasting effects in low responders.

This study shows that inhibiting the striatal indirect pathway during the second postnatal week in mice causes long-lasting deficits in motivated behavior and dopamine adaptation.

This study inhibits thalamo-prefrontal projections in adolescent mice and finds altered synaptic connectivity and cognitive deficits in adulthood.

The paper develops genetic tools to dissect glutamatergic neuron subpopulations and their developmental trajectories in the cerebral cortex.

This study identifies lineage programs in radial glial progenitors that generate striosome and matrix compartments through distinct intermediate progenitors, revealing their role in striatal circuit organization.

The paper identifies a transcriptional architecture that defines GABAergic neuron identity through combinatorial gene expression patterns.
