DOI: 10.1038/s41467-025-58763-w
Abstract: Neurons in the neocortex exhibit astonishing morphological diversity which is critical for properly wiring neural circuits and giving neurons their functional properties. However, the organizational principles underlying this morphological diversity remain an open question. Here,… read more here.
