Abstract:
Although the formation of neural circuits and the development of behavior starts in the late stages of brain development and continues after birth, diverse classes of neural and glial cells are generated early in brain development. This early generation of cells forms the foundation of behavior and is regulated by gene expression. Here, we utilize single-cell RNA sequencing to explore the diversity of neural stem cells and examine how genes regulate cell fate determination and behavior.
