The distribution of redundant neural activity is coupled with task-relevant activity, which may limit the extent to which redundancy can be exploited by the brain for computation.

Multiphoton live-imaging illuminates the dynamic underpinnings of how different types of progenitor cells migrate and interact to robustly build the mammalian Dentate Gyrus neural circuitry and new outer neurogenic niche.

Transcriptomes of cells in the Drosophila visual system combined with anatomy and other information reveal new functional insight into the visual circuit.

A novel transposon-based enhancer trap screen in mice permits high throughput development of highly restricted driver strains targeting specific neuronal cell types.

At distal synapses onto hippocampal CA1 pyramidal neurons, synaptic plasticity is dependent on dendritically initiated sodium spikes, thus establishing a new role for voltage-gated sodium channels in the dendrites that may have important implications for how learning rules are implemented.

Gene expression was analyzed in hippocampal principal cells, enabling cellular phenotyping and revealing novel organizational principles; complementing this, a publicly available website is released to provide outside analysis and visualization of hippocampal RNA-seq data in an accessible fashion.

Electrophysiology identifies a population of fan-shaped body neurons that encode airflow in two directions relative to the fly midline and whose silencing disrupts proper orientation to airflow.

Specific mRNAs localize to the dendrites of Drosophila mushroom body output neurons.

The combination of single-cell transcriptomics and whole-brain mapping of bulk and single-cell projections reveals the relationship between the molecular architecture, cell body distribution, and axonal arborization of serotonin neurons.

Identifying FMRP-bound mRNAs in hippocampal CA1 pyramidal neurons reveals cell-type specific regulation of autism-candidate and circadian mRNAs and FMRP-mediated control of memory across the circadian cycle.
