Health psychology People with autism are, on average, just as adept at a study task as people without prediction; The predictive ability correlates with the ratio of […]
Mutation Map: Gene expression and DNA accessibility profiles of cells in the developing cerebral cortex can help scientists assess the effects of rare non-coding mutations in autism. DR. J. Andersen / Pasca Laboratory at Stanford University A new atlas profiles gene expression and DNA accessibility in individual cells in the developing human cerebral cortex during […]
Map Quest: Two types of neurons (cortical, top; thalamus, bottom) from different organoid batches are mapped onto a reference view of the developing mouse brain. Dark colors indicate a high degree of similarity between the organoid-derived neurons and the reference map. A new tool is helping researchers study the types of cells that make up […]
