      Evaluation Summary:

      This paper is of interest to a broad range of neuroscientists, particularly those interested in ApoE biology and Alzheimer's disease (AD), as it reveals a novel mechanism that counteracts AD-linked amyloid plaque burden and synapse dysfunction in mice. Overall, the methodology is sound, sophisticated, and employs animal models that more closely mimic human diseases, and the results are interesting and compelling. Whilst the mechanistic hypothesis proposed by the authors is consistent with the data, plausible alternative explanations remain.

      Evaluation Summary:

      This manuscript is of broad interest to readers in the field of Alzheimer's disease, neurodegeneration, and single-cell omics. The identification of shared pathways across different cell types and ages is an important contribution to our understanding of APOE4 gene regulation in a cell type-specific manner. A combination of snRNAseq in APOE mouse models and human iPSC cells supports the key claims in the paper.

      Evaluation Summary:

      This manuscript will be of interest to cell and developmental biologists and neuroscientists. It addresses the question of how the number of connecting neurons in a circuit is matched whilst maintaining topography. It shows that non-autonomous control of neuronal number involves a relay mechanism through two distinct glial cell types, enabling the specification of distinct neuronal classes.
