Single-cell transcriptomics identifies cellular composition of the first instar Drosophila brain and the response to starvation.

Cell-specific pathways regulate lipid transmitters and neuroinflammation in the brain.

A new resource of transgenic zebrafish lines facilitates precise targeting of neuronal cell-types within the brain, supported by online software for visualizing transgene expression patterns.

The life cycle and morphology of the sea squirt Ciona intestinalis shed light on vertebrate evolution.

Advances in techniques for analysing single cells and tissues have inspired an international effort to create comprehensive reference maps of all human cells - the fundamental units of life - as a basis for both understanding human health and diagnosing, monitoring and treating disease.

A combination of genetic, anatomical and physiological techniques has revealed that the lateral horn, a region of the brain involved in olfaction in flies, has many more types of neurons than expected.

Perirhinal cortex, a brain structure located in the medial temporal lobe, uniquely supports the integration of visual and conceptual object information.

Synaptic vesicles undergo reversible tethering at the plasma membrane which is activity- and myosin V- dependent.

Non-REM sleep is essential in the restoration of initial motor memory trace and gradual reorganization of newly-learned information underlying human procedural memory consolidation.
