    Intrinsic properties link a network model to zebra finch song

    Nelson D Medina, Dan Margoliash
    Whole-cell recordings paired with a network model show that post-inhibitory rebound excitation in premotor neurons couples intrinsic excitability to the temporal structure of learned birdsong.

    SynaptoTagMe, a toolkit for in vivo mapping and modulating neurotransmission at single-cell resolution

    Andrea Cuentas-Condori, Patricia Chanabá-López ... Daniel A Colón-Ramos
    Endogenous tagging and conditional silencing of vesicular transporters reveal widespread, conserved co-transmission, and enable causal dissection of transmitter-specific synaptic function, linking molecular identity to circuit dynamics and behavior in vivo.
