Three groups of interneurons account for nearly 100% of neocortical GABAergic neurons

…, G Fishell, SH Lee, J HjerlingLeffler - Developmental …, 2011 - Wiley Online Library
An understanding of the diversity of cortical GABAergic interneurons is critical to understand
the function of the cerebral cortex. Recent data suggest that neurons expressing three …

Disentangling neural cell diversity using single-cell transcriptomics

JF Poulin, B Tasic, J Hjerling-Leffler, JM Trimarchi… - Nature …, 2016 - nature.com
Cellular specialization is particularly prominent in mammalian nervous systems, which are
composed of millions to billions of neurons that appear in thousands of different 'flavors' and …

Environmental enrichment and the brain

…, SW Zhu, S Darmopil, J Hjerling-Leffler… - Progress in brain …, 2002 - Elsevier
An intriguing feature of the adult brain is its capacity for structural and functional modification
in response to external stimuli. This plasticity of the adult nervous system has been the …

Genome-wide meta-analysis identifies new loci and functional pathways influencing Alzheimer's disease risk

…, Y Wang, LR White, J Hardy, J Hjerling-Leffler… - Nature …, 2019 - nature.com
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is highly heritable and recent studies have identified over 20
disease-associated genomic loci. Yet these only explain a small proportion of the genetic …

Cell types in the mouse cortex and hippocampus revealed by single-cell RNA-seq

…, C Rolny, G Castelo-Branco, J Hjerling-Leffler… - Science, 2015 - science.org
The mammalian cerebral cortex supports cognitive functions such as sensorimotor
integration, memory, and social behaviors. Normal brain function relies on a diverse set of …

[PDF][PDF] Molecular architecture of the mouse nervous system

…, A Furlan, K Lee, N Skene, KD Harris, J Hjerling-Leffler… - Cell, 2018 - cell.com
The mammalian nervous system executes complex behaviors controlled by specialized,
precisely positioned, and interacting cell types. Here, we used RNA sequencing of half a million …

Unbiased classification of sensory neuron types by large-scale single-cell RNA sequencing

…, D Lou, J Hjerling-Leffler, J Haeggström… - Nature …, 2015 - nature.com
The primary sensory system requires the integrated function of multiple cell types, although
its full complexity remains unclear. We used comprehensive transcriptome analysis of 622 …
