A genetic manipulation of the Nrxn1/3^SS4+-Cbln1/2 complex reveals this signaling pathway has no role in synapse formation but functions to shape the NMDAR- and AMPAR-content at multiple types of synapses with distinct facets in diverse circuits.

Interneuron-specific alternative splice variants of the synaptic receptor neurexin are critical for hippocampal network activity and short-term memory.

Single-cell RNA-sequencing and neural circuitry analyses reveal that sensorimotor transformation of different behaviors which are performed by separate circuit modules in the superior colliculus are molecularly defined by distinct transcriptomic codes of specific neuron subtypes.

Inhibition of phosphatases by kinases develops Whi5 phosphorylation and cell cycle function in low cyclin-dependent kinase activity.

The decision to commit to cell division-the Start transition-in budding yeast is governed by time integration of G1 cyclin-CDK activity by the transcription factor Whi5.

Pyramidal cells of the subiculum, a major output cell type of the hippocampus, can be deconstructed into distinct subtypes that exhibit a patchwork-like organization in space.

Investigation of how cells rewire their transcriptional programs during transition from mitotic to meiotic cell fate reveals a two-pronged mechanism for inactivating a key mitotic transcription factor.

Cell cycle network evolution in a fungal ancestor was punctuated by the arrival of a viral DNA-binding protein that was permanently incorporated into the regulatory network controlling cell cycle entry.

Calsyntenin-3 functions in cerebellar Purkinje neurons as a postsynaptic adhesion molecule that, unexpectedly, suppresses excitatory parallel-fiber synapse numbers but boosts inhibitory synapse numbers and thereby controls the excitatory/inhibitory balance of Purkinje neurons.
