The study identifies specific loss of CUX2-expressing projection neurons in upper cortical layers underlying meningeal inflammation, but the molecular mechanisms explaining this selective vulnerability remain unknown. Understanding this specificity could reveal targeted neuroprotective strategies for cortical MS pathology.
