ST,Autism-linked genes expressed in thalamus make an impact, and more

Deep focus: Subcortical brain structures contribute to autism more than previously appreciated, according to two new preprints. One study used single-cell RNA sequencing to identify altered gene expression and found that excitatory neurons in the thalamus and hypothalamus are particularly enriched in autism-linked genes, along with cortical regions. The other study used a different method of transcriptomic analysis to further…
