The accuracy of the Hybrid Vocalization Localizer (HyVL) brings a revolution to the study of social vocalizations of rodents and other animals, where vocalizations often occur in close proximity, and will empower downstream analysis of sequence and semantic analyses.

New methods for statistical inference in representational similarity analysis were developed, tested thoroughly, and are made available in an open-source Python toolbox.
Incorporating cycle-consistency loss into a generative adversarial network creates a high-performance and robust 'aligner' of neural population activity, permitting a fixed intracortical brain computer interface to be used for months without recalibration and without requiring inference of a latent manifold.
Animal G-protein-coupled bistable rhodopsins can regulate Gq- and Gi-mediated signaling in a light-dependent manner in neurons and cardiomyocytes, making them useful for analyzing the roles of GPCR signaling in vivo.
Functional assays using zebrafish reveal that various microbial channelrhodopsins, guanylyl cyclase rhodopsin, and photoactivated adenylyl cyclases function as potent optogenetic tools, effectively controlling neural activity and cardiac function in zebrafish.

Neural plate border cells co-express neural, neural crest, and placodal transcriptional programs before cell fate decisions occur and are transcriptionally heterogeneous along the antero-posterior and medial-lateral axis.
