FOS binding sites are a hub for the evolution of activity-dependent gene regulatory programs in human neurons
After birth, sensory inputs to neurons trigger the induction of activity-dependent genes (ADGs) that mediate many aspects of neuronal maturation and plasticity. To identify human-specific ADGs, we cha...
