Combined single nucleus RNAseq and ATACseq enabled the first molecular resolution of all hindbrain rhombomeres, the derivation of a unique gene regulatory network for each rhombomere, and the identification of gene expression changes as rhombomeres form from early progenitor pools.

Direct measurements of retinoic acid using fluorescence lifetime imaging reveal a new role for cellular retinoic acid binding proteins in noise attenuation that is critical to sharpen hindbrain rhombomere boundaries.

The development of brainstem auditory nuclei echoes the divergent evolutionary history of amniote auditory systems.

Boundary cell identity and sharpening of borders are coupled in hindbrain development since both are regulated by mechanical tension.

A new cell type at the border of the fourth ventricle is the exclusive source of roof plate.

The protein stability of WDR5, the core component of TrxG complex, is controlled by the ubiquitin ligase RNF220, which involves in the maintenance of Hox patterns in mouse hindbrain.

Newly forming descending pathways are arranged to function in parallel to existing ones and contribute to increasingly sophisticated locomotor behaviors that emerge postnatally with suitable connectivity patterns and biophysical properties.

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.

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.
