The delayed and prolonged postmitotic maturation of human neurons, compared with
neurons from other species, may contribute to human-specific cognitive abilities and …

Multimodal astrocyte–neuron communications govern brain circuitry assembly and function.
For example, through rapid glutamate release, astrocytes can control excitability, plasticity …

Astrocytes are ubiquitous within the central nervous system (CNS). These cells possess
many individual processes which extend out into the neuropil, where they interact with a …

Predictive processing postulates the existence of prediction error neurons in cortex. Neurons
with both negative and positive prediction error response properties have been identified in …

The primate neocortex exerts high cognitive ability and strong information processing
capacity. Here, we establish a single-cell RNA sequencing dataset of 133,454 macaque …

Mammalian cortex features a vast diversity of neuronal cell types, each with characteristic
anatomical, molecular and functional properties. Synaptic connectivity powerfully shapes …

Complex neocortical functions rely on networks of diverse excitatory and inhibitory neurons.
While local connectivity rules between major neuronal subclasses have been established …

To survive, animals must convert sensory information into appropriate behaviours,. Vision is
a common sense for locating ethologically relevant stimuli and guiding motor responses …

Brain development is orchestrated by both innate and experience-dependent mechanisms,
but their relative contributions are difficult to disentangle. Here we asked if and how central …

Sound stimulus is encoded in mice by three molecularly and physiologically diverse
subtypes of sensory neurons, called Ia, Ib, and Ic spiral ganglion neurons (SGNs). Here, we …
