Smith, Lydia Ng + et al. A spatially resolved transcriptional atlas of the mid-gestational developing human brain has been created using laser-capture microdissection and microarray technology, providing a comprehensive reference resource which also enables new hypotheses about the nature of human brain evolution and the origins of neurodevelopmental disorders. A mesoscale connectome of the mouse brain Seung Wook Oh, Julie A. Harris, Lydia Ng, Brent Winslow, Nicholas Cain + et al. In mouse, an axonal connectivity map showing the wiring patterns across the entire brain has been created using an EGFP-expressing adeno-associated virus tracing technique, providing the first such whole-brain map for a vertebrate species.
