Vast diversity of human brain cell types revealed in trove of new datasets
The collection offers a glimpse into differences in cell composition — across people and brain regions — that may shape neural function.

The approach, which combines CRISPR with single-cell analyses of organoids, suggests that intermediate progenitor cells are especially vulnerable to mutations associated with autism.
An imbalance in the number of excitatory neurons in early brain development may account for the difference.
The new devices, which monitor neural activity from within blood vessels, show long-term stability in rats and could one day deliver electrical stimulation.
A new technique used to create see-through rodents can help scientists analyze how the nervous system interacts with other body systems.
Here is a roundup of news and research for the week of 26 June.
The framework, inspired by the polygenic risk score, considers the cumulative effect of neuronal connections.
The gene-editing advances make it easier to target specific tissues in mice and detect off-target effects.
The chimeric mouse model could provide a more realistic way to study microglia’s roles in brain conditions such as autism.
Compared with their non-autistic peers, young autistic girls have a thicker cortex that thins more quickly with age.
