An in vivo electrophysiology approach identifies an incretin-like effect in Drosophila insulin-producing cells, highlighting key circuit dynamics which govern glucose homeostasis via conserved mechanisms.

Olfactory neurons of insects, once thought to express only a single type of olfactory receptor, exhibit widespread co-expression of receptors from multiple chemosensory gene families.

Studies in mice and neurons reveal how modulation of the axonal transport of synaptic vesicles via huntingtin phosphorylation influences the number of vesicles accumulating at the synapse, subsequent glutamate release, and behavior in mice.

The pairing of chemogenetic and electrophysiological approaches reveals mechanisms by which cholinergic synapses modulate the final motor output of the nervous system.

Experiments in zebrafish reveal a new role for a critical hypothalamic transcription factor, orthopedia, in controlling developmental neuropeptide balance in a discrete oxytocin-producing neuronal circuit whose disrupted development affects social behavior.

The brain and olfactory epithelium play a key role in pattering chondrogenic areas in the developing face, which is partly based on the release of SHH from neurosensory structures into the facial mesenchyme.

Elevated levels of ectopic fat and a decreased number of oxidative insulin-sensitive type I muscle fibers in skeletal muscle could lead to insulin resistance in women with polycystic ovary syndrome.

Neuroanatomical studies reveal presence and cholinergic phenotype of 150,000-200,000 extrahypothalamic gonadotropin-releasing hormone neurons in human basal ganglia and basal forebrain, and RNA-sequencing detects gonadotropin-releasing hormone receptor-1 expression in cholinergic interneurons but not in spiny projection neurons of the human putamen.

In vivo quantitative magnetic resonance imaging at ultra-high magnetic field reveals systematic differences of relaxation parameters (R₁) within the human secondary visual cortex at the level of the thin-thick-pale stripes system, which points toward higher cortical myelination of pale stripes.
