A new @nature.com study from Rui Chang's lab uses lineage tracing, 3D imaging, single-cell transcriptomics, and genetic perturbations to show how organ-specific neural circuits are formed. They reveal that organs help shape their own nervous systems.
A new Yale study finds that organs help direct the development of their own nervous systems, creating specialized networks that enable a two-way conversation between body and brain.
