Mapping forebrain neural circuit assembly using scRNA Seq

27 October 2026

In this video, you will see how researchers used mouse forebrain organoids and PIPseq single-cell RNA sequencing from Illumina to uncover how early neural networks first emerge. The study reveals distinct activity patterns and cell compositions that shape developing circuits in the absence of external input. Watch to learn how this approach is helping define the intrinsic rules that guide early brain wiring.
