Spatial dynamics of cellular and molecular plasticity in the maternal and postpartum mouse brain

2026-01-03

Abstract excerpt

Pregnancy represents a critical window for neuroplasticity and maternal mental health, yet our understanding of the molecular and cellular mechanisms driving this neural adaptation remains incomplete. Here, we generated a spatially resolved transcriptomic atlas of the maternal mouse brain, integrating Slide-tags and MERFISH to profile nearly one million cells. We uncover widespread remodeling characterized by a st...
