The precise functional role of the hippocampus remains a topic of much debate. The dominant
view is that the dorsal (or posterior) hippocampus is implicated in memory and spatial …

The stereotyped spatial architecture of the brain is both beautiful and fundamentally related
to its function, extending from gross morphology to individual neuron types, where soma …

To understand the function of cortical circuits, it is necessary to catalog their cellular diversity.
Past attempts to do so using anatomical, physiological or molecular features of cortical …

Molecular approaches to understanding the functional circuitry of the nervous system
promise new insights into the relationship between genes, brain and behaviour. The cellular …

Neuroanatomically precise, genome-wide maps of transcript distributions are critical resources
to complement genomic sequence data and to correlate functional and genetic brain …

The Cre/lox system is widely used in mice to achieve cell-type-specific gene expression.
However, a strong and universally responding system to express genes under Cre control is still …

10.7554/eLife.27041.001 The recent advent of methods for high-throughput single-cell
molecular profiling has catalyzed a growing sense in the scientific community that the time is ripe …

We present a high-quality genome sequence of a Neanderthal woman from Siberia. We
show that her parents were related at the level of half-siblings and that mating among close …

The neocortex contains a multitude of cell types that are segregated into layers and functionally
distinct areas. To investigate the diversity of cell types across the mouse neocortex, here …

The generation of new neurons from neural stem cells is restricted to two regions of the adult
mammalian central nervous system: the subventricular zone of the lateral ventricle, and the …
