It was a great pleasure to discuss why and how to study cell types in the human brain on The Transmitter.

The single-cell omics revolution is changing how we study the brain. 🧠📈

Brain Science leaders @hongkuizeng.bsky.social and Ed Lein share how these tools have changed neuroscience and what's next in a new perspective piece in @thetransmitter.bsky.social.

Single-cell genomics technologies and cell atlases have ushered in a new era of human neurobiology

Single-cell approaches are already shedding light on the human brain, identifying cell types that are most vulnerable in the early stages of Alzheimer’s disease, for example.

Spectacular work from the MICrONS project! We are learning so much from the amazingly detailed wiring diagram of the mouse visual cortex.

How does the brain work?

Scientists are closer to the answer with the largest wiring diagram and functional map of a mammalian brain to date. 🧵

Excited to share our single-cell study on aging mouse brain! We found 2,449 cell-type specific age-DE genes, and an aging hotspot in specific hypothalamic cell types involved in energy homeostasis, which show both decreased neuronal function and increased immune response. doi.org/10.1038/s415...
