Knockout of both latrophilin-2 and latrophilin-3 from Purkinje cells in mice selectively impairs parallel-fiber synapses, revealing a redundant but critical function for latrophilins at specific synapses.

Genetic analyses using a simple nervous system of the nematode revealed the novel function of the cell fate-determining transcriptional repressor complex in the differentiated neurons to determine the precise synapse position.

Brian 2 is a software package for neural simulations that makes it both easy and computationally efficient to define original models for computational experiment.

BrainPy presents a general-purpose programming framework that enables efficient implementation, simulation, training, and analysis of brain dynamics models across multiple organization scales, ultimately facilitating the understanding of the complex neural mechanisms underlying brain functions.

Trans-synaptic protein interactions are required for synapse specification and function, and the combination between neuroligin3 and αneurexin1 controls inhibitory synaptic function in a splice isoform- and interneuron-specific manner.

Aberrant ERK/MAPK signaling in cortical pyramidal neurons leads to selective disruption of layer 5 circuit development and generalized changes in neuronal excitability.

FlyBrainLab is an open-source computing platform that integrates 3D exploration and visualization of diverse Drosophila connectomic/synaptomic datasets with interactive exploration of the functional logic of modeled executable brain circuits.

Genetic study of C. elegans neural development reveals the function of glia-neuron gap junctions in neuronal axon specification, and shows that glial cells regulate neuronal intracellular pathways through gap junctions.

Molecular, genetic, and behavioral assays in mice establish a new role for Hox proteins in the final steps of spinal motor neuron development.

The NetPyNE software tool provides a framework to efficiently develop, simulate, optimize and analyze experimentally grounded neural models spanning the molecular, cellular and circuit scales.
