Special, absolutely, but I’ve never met a humble sugar glider
A fascinating new study in which the humble sugar glider makes a special appearance, helping a team led by @brainevodevo.bsky.social and @fennak.bsky.social uncover the evolutionary history of a group of inhibitory neurons. Check out this thread summarizing the main findings!
Our new manuscript, led by Emily Corrigan, examines inhibitory neuron diversity across approximately 160 million years of evolutionary divergence, as part of BRAIN Initiative Cell Atlas Network (BICAN) developing brain atlas package: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Conservation and alteration of mammalian striatal interneurons - Nature
An analysis of cell-type diversity in brain samples from a variety of mammalian species, both during development and in adult animals, reveals that the TAC3 initial class of striatal interneurons is c...
