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.

To study odor-guided navigation of small animals such as worms and fly larvae, a novel flow chamber and odor sensor array are presented that better characterize the odors that the animal experiences.

A novel analytical framework for investigation of simultaneously occurring brain oscillations (from either single or multiple brain areas) and how it modulates the underlying neuronal population during sleep and wakefulness (or other behavioral tasks).

Drosophila larvae manipulated by an automated system can be observed for 30+ hr, and new analysis methods of long-timescale trajectories reveal behavioral features previously inaccessible, such as a bimodal distribution of thermal navigation efficiency in individual animals.

Lineage-specific Drosophila cell lines provide in vitro models for cell, biochemical, and high-throughput analyses in defined cell types.

Advanced computational processing and analysis of functional MRI create the first comprehensive set of high-resolution cortical parcellations maps of infant brains.
