Over the last decade, single-cell genomics has emerged as a powerful tool to study cellular complexity and dynamics across all life sciences, including neuroscience. From disease modeling to neuron-glia interaction, and from embryonic development to adult neurogenesis, it has expanded our understanding of molecular dynamics, cellular landscapes, and transcriptional regulation in the most complex organ found in animals. This symposium brings together speakers who will showcase how the use of this tool can aid in understanding the central nervous system in developmental processes and disease modeling.
