Sister projection neurons in the mammalian olfactory system do not share sensory synaptic input indicating that lineage-independent mechanisms regulate their synaptic connectivity with the olfactory sensory neurons.
A novel transposon-based enhancer trap screen in mice permits high throughput development of highly restricted driver strains targeting specific neuronal cell types.
A lineage-based intersectional genetic approach reveals brain-wide distribution and input connectivity of axo-axonic interneuron cells and establishes experimental access to study the circuit function of a ground truth cell type.
Molecular, laminar, and regional characterization in combination with classical and conditional tracing techniques reveal that medial prefrontal cortical neurons innervating the nucleus accumbens and the ventral tegmental area form distinct populations.
The most comprehensive neuroanatomical atlas on the expression of three glycoprotein hormone receptors, namely, TSHRs, LHCGRs, and FSHRs, was mapped using RNAscope, a technology that allows the detection of mRNA at single-transcript level.

An intersectional genetic vector approach allows the identification and characterization of novel hippocampal inhibitory neurons with both broad local connectivity within CA1 and long-range projections to several extrahippocampal areas.
