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.

Newfound gene network controls long-range connections between emotional, cognitive brain areas
The finding could help unravel gene regulatory networks and explain how genetic and environmental factors interact in neurodevelopmental conditions.

Opioid receptors may guide formation of gut nervous system in zebrafish
Fish lacking functional copies of the receptors have fewer enteric neurons than usual, but the findings await further validation.

Neuroscience needs a research-video archive
Video data are enormously useful and growing rapidly, but the field lacks a searchable, shareable way to store them.

Where do cell states end and cell types begin?
High-throughput transcriptomics offers powerful new methods for defining different types of brain cells. But we need to think more explicitly about how we use these data to distinguish a cell’s permanent identity from its transient states.

Ciara Greene on the quirks and complexities of human episodic memory
Greene's book, “Memory Lane: The Perfectly Imperfect Ways We Remember,” explores the many factors that affect how we recall the events in our lives, from the mundane to the emotionally powerful.

‘Spoonful of plastics in your brain’ paper has duplicated images
The duplications likely do not alter the conclusions, but the paper contains other methodological issues, two independent microplastics researchers say.
