A newly identified pattern of circuit assembly shows connectivity between small groups of neurons born in tight time windows from different stem cells, with outputs from one lineage born before inputs from other lineages.

Axon guidance cues restrict sensory neuron synapse formation to a subset of equally acceptable interneuronal dendritic arbors during Drosophila locomotor circuit assembly.

Opposing mechanisms determine dendrite arbor size during a critical period in Drosophila.

The connectivity structure of a nociceptive circuit is precisely maintained over Drosophila larval development through cell type-specific increases in synaptic contacts as measured from electron microscopy reconstructions, while individual neurons grow five-fold in size and number of synapses.

3D atlas of the macaque frontal lobe, based on the novel quantitative parcellation, integrates anatomical, neurochemical, and functional connectivity data.

Neurodevelopmental critical periods act to integrate activity to encode homeostatic set points that remain fixed thereafter.

A class of interneuron is identified that promotes escape behavior downstream of nociceptor inputs via connections to nociceptive integrator and premotor networks.

Female-inherited supernumerary chromosomes that lack a male-inherited homolog are transmitted to all meiotic products instead of the expected half, which indicates an additional amplification of unpaired chromosomes during meiosis.

A subtle mutation in the ATP-binding site of inositol hexakisphosphate kinases increases their conformational flexibility and thereby makes them susceptible to isozyme-selective, allosteric inhibition.
