Comparative single-cell transcriptomic atlases of drosophilid brains suggest glial evolution during ecological adaptation
How do diverse brain cells change over evolution? By comparing single-cell transcriptomic atlases from ecologically-distinct drosophilid species, this work identifies changes in the composition and gene expression patterns of different cell types, revealing higher divergence in glia than neurons.
