Genetic risk variants for common diseases are predominantly located in non-coding regulatory regions and modulate gene expression. Although bulk tissue studies have elucidated shared mechanisms of regulatory and disease-associated genetics, the cellular specificity of these mechanisms remains largely unexplored. Here w...

The human brain undergoes profound changes from early development through late adulthood, shaping cognition, behaviour and vulnerability to disease1,2. Understanding how these changes are organized within specific brain regions and cell types is essential for interpreting normal ageing and its relationship to psychiatr...

Common brain disorders impose a substantial health burden, but localizing their genetic risk in the brain remains challenging1. Although genome-wide association studies have identified numerous loci associated with neuropsychiatric and neurodegenerative disorders, many of these loci lie in non-coding regions that influ...

Neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric diseases impose a considerable societal and public health burden. However, our understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying these highly complex conditions remains limited1,2. Here, to gain deeper insights into the aetiology of different brain diseases, we used specimens f...
