A comprehensive excitatory projectome of the ventro-lateral prefrontal cortex in macaques was generated by using viral tracing integrated with serial two-photon tomography and diffusion tractography, thus providing new evidence of rejecting the monosynaptic connection of inferior fronto-occipital fasciculus in monkeys.

The anterior insula cortex is a critical neural substrate of context-induced relapse of nicotine-seeking.

The hypothalamic parasubthalamic nucleus can be subdivided into two distinct populations, one of which decreases food consumption and is necessary for the full appetite-suppressing effects of anorexigenic hormones.

Multiple non-redundant features of non-rapid eye movement sleep are altered in schizophrenia and largely independent of waking electrophysiological abnormalities, supporting the promise of neuropsychiatric disease biomarkers based on a precise dissection of the sleep.

The dorsal medial prefrontal cortex and basolateral amygdala exhibit social behavior-relevant neuronal oscillations, representing unified pathophysiological mechanisms underlying social behavioral deficits.

The Kv3.3 potassium channel subunit is necessary and sufficient to permit presynaptic location and accelerated repolarisation of the presynaptic action potential, thereby conserving resources and enhancing accuracy of timing information on transmission at the calyx of Held excitatory synapse.

Blocking of the function of neurotransmitter receptors by insecticidal peptide toxins resulted in identification of nicotinic acetylcholine receptor subunits through native ligand-binding investigations.

A new cross-species machine learning-based strategy is applied to find enhancers that specifically label parvalbumin neurons in the mouse and macaque.

Cohesin is required for the expression of neuronal genes that engage in long chromatin loops, while short-range enhancer-promoter loops can form in the absence of cohesin.

A MRI study of virally infected CNS demonstrates the utility of MRI in detecting the earliest pathological events and studying pathogen-specific T cells at the level of single cell as well as the therapeutic potential of antiviral T cells.
