No idea but I hope someone will tell us!

The claustrum is critical for maintaining working memory information
Working memory (WM) enables the mammalian brain to temporarily store and manipulate information, supporting cognitive tasks and communication processes. Rather than depending on a single specialized a...

💡 Our recent study suggests that the claustrum could be fundamental for maintaining working memory, supporting attention, cognitive control, and more!

🧩 Our findings provide a detailed cellular map of the claustro-insular region and offer new insights into how Nr4a2 regulates the molecular identity of its neurons.

A spatial single-cell atlas of the claustro-insular region uncovers key regulators of neuronal identity and excitability
The claustro-insular region is an evolutionarily conserved and extensively interconnected brain area, critical for functions such as attention, cognitive flexibility, interoception, and affective proc...

🔄 This shift involved activating a transcription factor cascade, resulting in altered neuronal firing patterns. This suggests NR4A2 acts as a master regulator of claustrum neuron identities and influences their functional dynamics. ⚡ #NeuronalFunction

🧠 We focused on NR4A2, a gene linked to neuropsychiatric risk and highly expressed in the claustro-insular region. Using an Nr4a2 haploinsufficiency model, we found that only claustrum neurons showed shifts in molecular identity. 🧩 #Genetics

🧫 By combining single-cell RNA sequencing with spatial transcriptomics, we created an atlas of the claustro-insular region in mice. This approach unveiled diverse neuronal subtypes and unexpected complexity. 📊 #BrainAtlas
