FIB-SEM is used to identify comprehensively and reconstruct 192 neurons and their complete connectome for glomerulus VA1v of the Drosophila antennal lobe, in particular to reconstruct its local interneurons.
Juvenile and adult metabolism are constrained from evolving independently from each other even in a species that lacks developmental continuity between juvenile and adult organs.

A new approach measures the respective participations of elementary cell behaviors – such as cell division, intercalation, shape change and death – in the shaping of animal tissues.
Three-dimensional imaging and automated, brain-wide cell counting yield new insight into the diversity of neurons that connect the brain to the spinal cord and their different sensitivity to spinal cord damage.
The conserved AMP-activated protein kinase inhibits mitochondrial import of misfolded proteins and helps preserve mitochondrial and cellular fitness under proteotoxic stress.
A spiking network model that examines the transformation of odor information from olfactory bulb to piriform cortex demonstrates how intrinsic cortical circuitry preserves representations of odor identity across odorant concentrations.
Activation of the stress response pathway in young cells extends replicative lifespan, not by reducing global protein synthesis per se, but by Gcn4-mediated autophagy induction.
Large-scale monitoring of Anopheles populations benefits from a robust and accurate species identification and plasmodium detection method that is applicable to the entire genus.
