The paper creates a cross-species consensus atlas of primate basal ganglia cell types using multiomic data from human, macaque, and marmoset, identifying 61 conserved cell types and a novel hybrid medium spiny neuron type.

This study maps ASD genetic liability across cortical cell types using a functional genetic burden analysis of 124,416 individuals, showing developmentally dynamic liabilities and variant-specific contributions to different cell types.

This paper introduces CellTransformer, a self-supervised framework for detecting fine-grained spatial domains in mouse brain spatial transcriptomics data, achieving high consistency across large datasets.

The paper identifies a CNV duplication associated with higher cognitive ability and shows gene-dosage effects differ between deletions and duplications across biological processes.
