    In vivo virus-free lineage tracing and live imaging reveal that NeuroD1 does not reprogram microglia into neurons

    Xiaoyu Li, Yuxin Li ... Yanxia Rao
    Genetic lineage tracing and live-cell imaging demonstrate that NeuroD1 does not convert microglia into neurons but instead promotes microglial apoptosis, challenging claims of in situ glia-to-neuron conversion.

    Individual dopaminergic neurons induce unique, yet overlapping combinations of behavioural modulations, including safety learning, memory retrieval, and acute locomotion

    Naoko Toshima, Arman Behrad ... Michael Schleyer
    Carrying 'teaching' signals and modulating movement, two highly conserved functions of the dopaminergic system across all animals, are brought about by the same individual dopaminergic neurons in an insect larva.
