Coding bonus: Bats’ hippocampal cells log spatial, social cues
The neurons represent not only an animal’s place in space, but also the distinguishing features of its fellow bats, including their sex and social status.

New human brain atlas charts gene activity and chromosome accessibility, from embryo to adolescence
The resource profiles millions of single cells across the developing cortex, revealing when, where and how certain cell types emerge and illuminating possible origins of autism and other conditions.
