Matthew T. Schmitz et al.

Summary: This study investigates the gene expression trajectories of inhibitory neurons (INs) in primates and mice during neurogenic period. Researchers find that while the initial classes of INs generated prenatally are largely conserved among mammals, there are contrasting developmental mechanisms for specifying evolutionarily novel cell types during prenatal development.

Foundations and implications of astrocyte heterogeneity during brain development and disease

Alexandra L. Schober et al.

Summary: Astrocytes have diverse roles in regulating brain circuit formation and physiology. Recent advancements have revealed a high level of diversity in astrocytes, including molecular, morphological, and functional differences. This diversification begins during embryonic specification events and continues into the early postnatal period, overlapping with synapse development and circuit refinement. There is evidence of molecular crosstalk among astrocytes, neurons, and synapses, suggesting that astrocyte diversity is influenced by and influences this crosstalk. Understanding astrocyte heterogeneity is vital for studying neurological diseases.

An atlas of cortical arealization identifies dynamic molecular signatures

Aparna Bhaduri et al.

Summary: Research using single-cell RNA sequencing and single-molecule fluorescent in situ hybridization techniques has revealed the early regional patterning process of the human brain. The study found differential gene expression in different areas early in the neocortex, with an increasing number of regional features as neural cells differentiate. The results demonstrate that early cortical areal patterning is influenced by strong gene expression markers, giving rise to multiple regions between the frontal and occipital poles.

Transcriptional network orchestrating regional patterning of cortical progenitors

Athena R. Ypsilanti et al.

Summary: By screening the expression of transcription factors in the developing mouse cortex and validating expression changes in mutant mice, a transcription factor network regulating cortical regional patterning was identified. Genomic programming underlying this network was determined through techniques like TF ChIP-seq and chromatin-looping conformation, while enhancers involved in regional patterning of cortical progenitors were pinpointed through analysis of epigenomic marks and DNA accessibility.

Summary: Genetic variation contributes to susceptibility to neurodevelopmental disorders by impacting the development of specific cell types, such as cortical and striatal GABAergic neurons. Using single-cell RNA sequencing, this study characterized the diversity of cell emergence in the human ganglionic eminences, where these neurons are generated. The findings demonstrate a regulatory logic controlling the specification, migration, and differentiation of GABAergic neurons in the human telencephalon that is evolutionarily conserved.

Summary: Through single-cell RNA sequencing, nine progenitor populations at the earliest stages of human brain development were identified, including a highly prevalent mesenchymal-like population that disappears once neurogenesis begins. Comparison with mouse progenitor populations revealed two clusters enriched in the early stages of human cortical development. Organoid systems displayed low fidelity to neuroepithelial and early radial glia cell types, but improved as neurogenesis progressed.

Chromatin and gene-regulatory dynamics of the developing human cerebral cortex at single-cell resolution

Alexandro E. Trevino et al.

Summary: Genetic perturbations of cortical development can lead to neurodevelopmental disease like autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Mapping the activity of gene-regulatory elements generating a single-cell atlas of gene expression and chromatin accessibility reveals gene regulation by key transcription factors, differentiates glial lineages' expression programs, and identifies lineage-determining TFs. High connection genes in early differentiating cells exhibit an active chromatin state consistent with lineage commitment. Neural network models pinpoint cell-type-specific enrichment of noncoding mutations associated with ASD in individuals and frequently disrupted TF binding sites. This highlights how cell-type-specific mapping can unveil insights into human development and disease programs.
