NeuroSC provides an open-source framework for comparative connectomics, integrating neuronal morphologies, contacts, and synapses across developmental stages and datasets.
A modified rabies-based circuit-mapping strategy combined with physiology, optogenetics, and behavior identifies asymmetric corticostriatal subcircuits that exert distinct control over actions.
Rotation of the transient receptor potential (TRP) domain appears to be a universal mechanism for gating of the TRP channel family, including the mechanosensitive ion channel NOMPC.

Loss of RTN4RL2 disrupts synapse formation and function between inner hair cells and spiral ganglion neurons, leading to elevated auditory thresholds and highlighting its critical role in hearing.
A unique pathogenic mutation on the primary prolyl hydroxylase of the oxygen-sensing pathway compromises the capacity to hydroxylate the hypoxia-inducible factor's N-terminal oxygen-dependent degradation domain proline while retaining activity against the otherwise catalytically predominant C-terminal proline.
A novel connectomics approach reveals synaptic connectivity differences between narrowly and broadly tuned olfactory glomeruli in Drosophila melanogaster, providing new insights into glomerular circuitry and its putative computational roles.
Conserved sequence motifs within intrinsically disordered protein regions act as evolutionary units that support phase separation and membraneless organelle formation.
