The research looks at how different types of brain cells called interneurons affect nerve cell signals. They found that certain parts of the neurons control signals differently and work best at specific rhythms, like gamma or beta waves. This could explain why brain cells that aim at the soma and dendrites work differently with these rhythms.

The research looks at how certain genes and sequences, called lncRNAs, differ between humans, ancient humans, and apes. These special lncRNAs have helped humans grow and change over time, especially in their brains, making them different from other species. The study found that these genes played a bigger role in changing our brains' gene expression than other factors.
