Sensory acquisition of a motor target is associated with rapid removal of excitatory synapses and with rapid insertion of inhibitory synapses in the main song control area of songbirds.

Connectomic analysis identifies the complex circuits of a visual motion-sensing neuron that qualify them to generate direction-selective motion sensing signals using both Hassenstein-Reichardt and Barlow-Levick models.

Cryo preservation of brain tissue reveals dendritic spines with thinner necks compared to those prepared with chemical fixation.

Snap-freezing of brain tissue reveals its true structure-showing that cells are less squashed together, and the connections between neurons are less enclosed than previously thought.

HID-1 is a novel player mediating homotypic fusion of immature secretory granules.

SerialFIB is an adaptable open-source software designed for streamlining, advanced development and automation of cryo-focused ion beam-based cellular preparations for in situ cryo-electron tomography.

Connectomic analysis in the fly's (Drosophila) learning and memory center identifies unique circuit motifs that have not been anticipated by over 30 years of extensive anatomical, experimental and theoretical studies.

Integrating a cryogenic light microscope with a focused ion beam/scanning electron microscope, allows directly targeting of fluorescent structure when preparing a frozen-hydrated lamella, without the need for repositioning or fiducial markers.

BoutonAnalyzer software makes it possible to detect axonal boutons and measure their structural plasticity in long-term in vivo imaging experiments.

Fibrinogen, a key protein involved in blood coagulation, contains a disordered and previously poorly characterised region called αC that plays a critical role in fibrin fibre growth and clot stability.
