Spatiotemporal brain transcriptomics reveal risk gene hot-spots in major neuropsychiatric disorders
May 21, 2026
This research analyzed spatiotemporal expression patterns of risk genes across 15 neuropsychiatric disorders. By integrating transcriptomic and imaging data, it identified prenatal and postnatal enrichment groups and specific brain “hot-spots”. This provides a systems-level framework for understanding neurodevelopmental mechanisms and potential therapeutic targets.
