[HTML][HTML] Single cell RNA sequencing of human microglia uncovers a subset associated with Alzheimer's disease

M Olah, V Menon, N Habib, MF Taga, Y Ma… - Nature …, 2020 - nature.com
The extent of microglial heterogeneity in humans remains a central yet poorly explored question
in light of the development of therapies targeting this cell type. Here, we investigate the …

Adult mouse cortical cell taxonomy revealed by single cell transcriptomics

B Tasic, V Menon, TN Nguyen, TK Kim, T Jarsky… - Nature …, 2016 - nature.com
Nervous systems are composed of various cell types, but the extent of cell type diversity is
poorly understood. We constructed a cellular taxonomy of one cortical region, primary visual …

[HTML][HTML] A harmonized atlas of mouse spinal cord cell types and their spatial organization

…, MR Alkaslasi, DI Lee, CE Le Pichon, V Menon… - Nature …, 2021 - nature.com
Single-cell RNA sequencing data can unveil the molecular diversity of cell types. Cell type
atlases of the mouse spinal cord have been published in recent years but have not been …

Canonical genetic signatures of the adult human brain

M Hawrylycz, JA Miller, V Menon, D Feng… - Nature …, 2015 - nature.com
The structure and function of the human brain are highly stereotyped, implying a conserved
molecular program responsible for its development, cellular structure and function. We …

Aging disrupts circadian gene regulation and function in macrophages

…, KM Schneider, B Chuluun, HC Heller, V Menon… - Nature …, 2022 - nature.com
Aging is characterized by an increased vulnerability to infection and the development of
inflammatory diseases, such as atherosclerosis, frailty, cancer and neurodegeneration. Here, we …

[HTML][HTML] Generalized leaky integrate-and-fire models classify multiple neuron types

C Teeter, R Iyer, V Menon, N Gouwens, D Feng… - Nature …, 2018 - nature.com
There is a high diversity of neuronal types in the mammalian neocortex. To facilitate
construction of system models with multiple cell types, we generate a database of point models …

Behavioral state coding by molecularly defined paraventricular hypothalamic cell type ensembles

S Xu, H Yang, V Menon, AL Lemire, L Wang, FE Henry… - Science, 2020 - science.org
INTRODUCTION Brain function is often compared to an orchestral ensemble, where
subgroups of neurons that have similar activity are analogous to different types of instruments …

[HTML][HTML] Shared and distinct transcriptomic cell types across neocortical areas

…, S Viswanathan, O Penn, T Bakken, V Menon… - Nature, 2018 - nature.com
The neocortex contains a multitude of cell types that are segregated into layers and functionally
distinct areas. To investigate the diversity of cell types across the mouse neocortex, here …

Continuous variation within cell types of the nervous system

MS Cembrowski, V Menon - Trends in Neurosciences, 2018 - cell.com
The brain is an organ of immense complexity. Next-generation RNA sequencing (RNA-seq)
is becoming increasingly popular in the deconstruction of this complexity into distinct classes …

[HTML][HTML] The influence of synaptic weight distribution on neuronal population dynamics

R Iyer, V Menon, M Buice, C Koch… - PLoS computational …, 2013 - journals.plos.org
The manner in which different distributions of synaptic weights onto cortical neurons shape
their spiking activity remains open. To characterize a homogeneous neuronal population, we …
