Adult human neurogenesis: early studies clarify recent controversies and go further

Adriano Barreto Nogueira et al.

Summary: Research suggests that adult human neurogenesis occurs in the subgranular zone of the dentate gyrus and the subventricular zone, with varying levels of intensity. However, there are indications that adult human neurogenesis may also be orchestrated in a broader brain area.

Individual human cortical progenitors can produce excitatory and inhibitory neurons

Ryan N. Delgado et al.

Summary: Studies have shown that human cortical progenitors are capable of generating both excitatory neurons and cortical interneurons, expanding our understanding of the origins of neuronal diversity in the human cortex. By utilizing a new cellular barcoding tool called STICR, researchers were able to trace the clonal lineage of human cortical progenitors and identify transcriptional similarities between cortically born GABAergic neurons and cortical interneurons born from the ganglionic eminences.

Reelin deficiency exacerbates cocaine-induced hyperlocomotion by enhancing neuronal activity in the dorsomedial striatum

Giordano de Guglielmo et al.

Summary: The Reelin protein encoded by the Reln gene is responsible for regulating various brain functions, including neuronal migration, dendritic growth and branching, and synapse formation. Through experiments on mice, it has been found that Reelin signaling contributes to the locomotor effects of cocaine but does not affect other behavioral responses associated with cocaine use. These findings improve our understanding of the neurobiological mechanisms underlying the effects of cocaine on cellular and behavioral levels.

The FGF2-induced tanycyte proliferation involves a connexin 43 hemichannel/purinergic-dependent pathway

Antonia Recabal et al.

Summary: In the adult hypothalamus, tanycytes play a role as neuronal precursors that can proliferate and differentiate into mature neurons under nutritional cues. FGF2 can induce tanycyte proliferation by opening Cx43 HCs and triggering purinergic signaling.

Single-cell epigenomics reveals mechanisms of human cortical development

Ryan S. Ziffra et al.

Summary: During mammalian development, differences in chromatin state play a crucial role in cell fate specification and defining cell identity in the developing brain. Through studying chromatin accessibility patterns, it was found that cerebral organoids recapitulate most cell-type-specific enhancer accessibility patterns but lack some open chromatin regions found in vivo. Systematic comparison of chromatin accessibility across brain regions revealed unexpected diversity among neural progenitor cells and highlighted the role of retinoic acid signaling in neuronal lineage specification in the prefrontal cortex.

Integrated analysis of multimodal single-cell data

Yuhan Hao et al.

Summary: The study introduces a weighted-nearest neighbor analysis framework to learn the relative utility of each data type in each cell, enabling integrative analysis of multiple modalities. Applied to a CITE-seq dataset, the method constructs a multimodal reference atlas of the circulating immune system and successfully identifies and validates previously unreported lymphoid subpopulations.

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.
