    Molecular characteristics and laminar distribution of prefrontal neurons projecting to the mesolimbic system

    Ákos Babiczky, Ferenc Matyas
    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.

    Botulinum neurotoxin accurately separates tonic vs. phasic transmission and reveals heterosynaptic plasticity rules in Drosophila

    Yifu Han, Chun Chien ... Dion Dickman
    A new tool enables electrophysiological isolation of input-specific neurotransmission in a powerful model glutamatergic circuit.

    Parallel processing, hierarchical transformations, and sensorimotor associations along the ‘where’ pathway

    Raymond Doudlah, Ting-Yu Chang ... Ari Rosenberg
    Hierarchical transformations of visual representations, saccade-related activity, and sensorimotor associations occur in parallel at the juncture of visual and parietal cortex.

    Epac2 in midbrain dopamine neurons contributes to cocaine reinforcement via enhancement of dopamine release

    Xiaojie Liu, Casey R Vickstrom ... Qing-song Liu
    The cAMP sensor and effector Epac2 facilitates dopamine release and promotes cocaine reward.

    Satellite glia modulate sympathetic neuron survival, activity, and autonomic function

    Aurelia A Mapps, Erica Boehm ... Rejji Kuruvilla
    Satellite glia provide trophic support to adult sympathetic neurons and modulate neuronal activity and autonomic function in mice.

    Diverse states and stimuli tune olfactory receptor expression levels to modulate food-seeking behavior

    Ian G McLachlan, Talya S Kramer ... Steven W Flavell
    Caenorhabditis elegans integrate sensory stimuli and internal state information to alter their expression of olfactory receptors, which impacts the sensorimotor responses of the animal.

    Audiovisual task switching rapidly modulates sound encoding in mouse auditory cortex

    Ryan J Morrill, James Bigelow ... Andrea R Hasenstaub
    The brain processes the same multisensory stimulus differently when the way it sounds, as opposed to the way it looks, is useful for making a decision.

    A scalable and modular automated pipeline for stitching of large electron microscopy datasets

    Gayathri Mahalingam, Russel Torres ... Nuno Macarico da Costa
    A novel image processing infrastructure that is capable of processing petascale datasets and can operate on both electron and light microscopy data.

    p75NTR prevents the onset of cerebellar granule cell migration via RhoA activation

    Juan P Zanin, Wilma J Friedman
    The p75 neurotrophin receptor prevents the migration of the granule cell precursors away from its mitogenic niche in the external granule layer of the cerebellum, by maintaining a pool of undifferentiated cells capable of responding to mitogenic signals.

    A Notch-dependent transcriptional mechanism controls expression of temporal patterning factors in Drosophila medulla

    Alokananda Ray, Xin Li
    Cell-cycle-dependent Notch signaling cooperates with temporal transcription factors to promote the progression of the temporal transcription factor cascade in Drosophila medulla neuroblasts.
