   Discovering and deciphering relationships across disparate data modalities

   Joshua T Vogelstein et al.

   Multiscale Graph Correlation, an interpretable hypothesis test with strong theoretical guarantees for discerning relationships in complex data, requires about half the sample size as other methods, whilst maintaining computational tractability.

   Temporal identity establishes columnar neuron morphology, connectivity, and function in a Drosophila navigation circuit

   Luis F Sullivan et al.

   The Eyeless/Pax6 temporal transcription factor generates neuronal identity, connectivity, and flight navigation behavior within the conserved adult brain structure called the central complex.

   The impact of pathological high-frequency oscillations on hippocampal network activity in rats with chronic epilepsy

   Laura A Ewell et al.

   A novel framework for separating normal and pathological high-frequency oscillations in animals with epilepsy uncovers new mechanisms for impaired hippocampal network function.

   The cellular basis of mechanosensory Merkel-cell innervation during development

   Blair A Jenkins et al.

   Touch-sensitive neurons are patterned during mammalian skin development by placode-derived keratinocytes and Bone Morphogenetic Protein signaling.

   Long-term consequences of the absence of leptin signaling in early life

   Angela M Ramos-Lobo et al.

   A mouse model that grew without functional leptin receptors until adulthood reveals that early defects in leptin signaling lead to permanent metabolic and developmental problems.

   Parallel pathways for sound processing and functional connectivity among layer 5 and 6 auditory corticofugal neurons

   Ross S Williamson, Daniel B Polley

   Targeted recordings from subcortical projection neurons in the auditory cortex reveal two cell classes with distinct signatures of sensory processing and different patterns of local and long-range connectivity.

   A high-throughput neurohistological pipeline for brain-wide mesoscale connectivity mapping of the common marmoset

   Meng Kuan Lin et al.

   A systematic high-throughput neurohistological and computational pipeline for marmoset which establishes a foundational setup in brain mapping and circuit tracing to support current and emerging research in primate studies.

   Ephrin-B3 controls excitatory synapse density through cell-cell competition for EphBs

   Nathan T Henderson et al.

   Competition between neurons for postsynaptic ephrin-B3 controls distribution of a limited pool of synapses and defines a novel trans-synaptic mechanism enabling neurons to set the number of synapses they receive.

    Emotional faces guide the eyes in the absence of awareness

    Petra Vetter et al.

    When emotional faces are rendered invisible, our eyes look towards fearful faces and away from angry faces.
