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.

Glial cells diverge in fly brain evolution
1 1
How animal brains evolve to support ecological specialization is poorly understood. This Primer explores a recent PLOS Biology study which reveals that glial cells show the most dramatic molecular and cellular changes in the brains of fruit flies adapted to a toxic niche, highlighting their...
