Show abstract
Opposing transcriptomic gradients explain the large-scale organization of cortex. Here, we show that opposing transcriptomic gradients also explain the fine-scale organization of orthogonal maps in human visual areas. We propose a model relating transcriptomics, cell density, and function, which predicts that specific cortical locations within these visual maps are microanatomically distinct and differentially susceptible to genetic mutations. We conclude with histological and translational data that support both predictions.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
