Transcriptomes of cells in the Drosophila visual system combined with anatomy and other information reveal new functional insight into the visual circuit.

A novel transposon-based enhancer trap screen in mice permits high throughput development of highly restricted driver strains targeting specific neuronal cell types.

Gene expression was analyzed in hippocampal principal cells, enabling cellular phenotyping and revealing novel organizational principles; complementing this, a publicly available website is released to provide outside analysis and visualization of hippocampal RNA-seq data in an accessible fashion.

At distal synapses onto hippocampal CA1 pyramidal neurons, synaptic plasticity is dependent on dendritically initiated sodium spikes, thus establishing a new role for voltage-gated sodium channels in the dendrites that may have important implications for how learning rules are implemented.

Stk11 and Fos expression plays an important role in CTA long-term memory formation by modulating the intrinsic excitability of BLApn.

For the first time, the strength of homeostatic plasticity has been shown to be negatively regulated and the transcription factors responsible for this regulation have been identified.

Single neuron images of Drosophila driver lines reveal neuron shape and are searchable, enabling comparisons to electron microscopy and prediction of intersectional neuron targeting strategies.

Multiple roles of the auxiliary calcium channel α2δ subunits require proteolytic cleavage of the precursor protein into α2 and δ.

Multiphoton live-imaging illuminates the dynamic underpinnings of how different types of progenitor cells migrate and interact to robustly build the mammalian Dentate Gyrus neural circuitry and new outer neurogenic niche.

Laser-ablating neurons of a single genetic class reveals that Dbx1-derived interneurons comprise core respiratory rhythmogenic and premotor circuits and provides quantitative cellular parameters that govern network functionality
