    Probe-Seq enables transcriptional profiling of specific cell types from heterogeneous tissue by RNA-based isolation

    Ryoji Amamoto, Mauricio D Garcia ... Constance L Cepko
    Probe-Seq is a cell type specific bulk RNA sequencing method that can be applied to a wide-ranging tissue types from both vertebrates and invertebrates without genetic labeling.

    One-shot learning and behavioral eligibility traces in sequential decision making

    Marco P Lehmann, He A Xu ... Kerstin Preuschoff
    Human learning relies on short-term memories (eligibility traces) which provide a mechanism to reinforce sequences of actions from a single reward (one-shot).

    DeepPoseKit, a software toolkit for fast and robust animal pose estimation using deep learning

    Jacob M Graving, Daniel Chae ... Iain D Couzin
    A new deep-learning software toolkit with general-purpose methods for quickly and reliably measuring the full body posture of animals directly from images or videos without physical markers.

    A Drosophila model of neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis CLN4 reveals a hypermorphic gain of function mechanism

    Elliot Imler, Jin Sang Pyon ... Konrad E Zinsmaier
    Genetic analysis of a CLN4 Drosophila model suggests that the disease-causing alleles act as dominant gain of function mutations that cause CSPα oligomerization and impair secretory and prelysosomal trafficking.

    Neurodegeneration: Fly model sheds light on brain disease

    Martin H Berryer, Sara G Kosmaczewski, Lindy E Barrett
    Experiments on flies suggest that a gain-of-function mechanism in a protein called CSPɑ contributes to the progressive brain disease CLN4.

    Receptor-specific interactome as a hub for rapid cue-induced selective translation in axons

    Max Koppers, Roberta Cagnetta ... Christine E Holt
    Multiple axonal guidance receptors control the local and selective translation of mRNAs by binding to ribosomes, specific mRNAs and RNA-binding proteins.

    Reliability of an interneuron response depends on an integrated sensory state

    May Dobosiewicz, Qiang Liu, Cornelia I Bargmann
    A pair of interneurons in C. elegans condenses information from multiple sensory neurons into a uniform response, using an AND-gate logic to represent a stimulus with positive valence.

    Single cell transcriptome atlas of the Drosophila larval brain

    Clarisse Brunet Avalos, G Larisa Maier ... Simon G Sprecher
    Single-cell transcriptomics identifies cellular composition of the first instar Drosophila brain and the response to starvation.

    High-throughput microcircuit analysis of individual human brains through next-generation multineuron patch-clamp

    Yangfan Peng, Franz Xaver Mittermaier ... Jörg Rolf Paul Geiger
    Combining a multineuron patch-clamp system with an automated pipette pressure and cleaning device enables efficient screening of synaptic connectivity in human brain slices and allows inter-individual comparison.

    Gradient-independent Wnt signaling instructs asymmetric neurite pruning in C. elegans

    Menghao Lu, Kota Mizumoto
    Genetic analyses revealed the critical role of local Wnt in neuronal patterning by instructing neurite pruning.
